When I click a link that goes to a "gif" file/page, it won't open; how do I fix this?

Ever since I've used Firefox, when I click on certain links, and the tab shows "gif", the page is blank. This happens with all kinds of web sites: in TripAdvisor when trying to access certain hotel web pages. Just today when on Delta, as I tried to click and access the store links in their SkyMiles shopping program (like Bloomingdales!).

Here is the tab info from the Delta example: " click (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels)" Some variation of this appears with a blank page. It's frustrating, as these are not suspicious sites! Also I just got Windows 7, so it's happened with both XP and Win-7. What can I do to prevent this and get to the site I want? Thanks!

Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.

Kaspersky: Protection > Firewall > Filtration system: disable the "Banner Ad Blocker"

See Configuring Kaspersky Internet Security and Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet
