>The computer and browser have been off/closed for 3 days. There was a image with a globe on it (top and bottom). That's gone now (in the last 2 minutes) but now there is still an image which is a shaded gray image repeated left to right and tip to bottom. How can it be just plain white or plain light grey i.e. no back ground image?
This is normal. The fact that the restart of the browser didn't kick in to the new version seems to be related to an overwrite of the default settings. Browsers, at startup, the first time it accesses a site, should detect new version of images.
>AdBlock reports this as the image
