User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en; rv:1.9.2.28) Gecko/20120308 Camino/2.1.2 (like Firefox/3.6.28) Build ID: 20120308211433 Steps to reproduce: I went to the Bloomberg stock futures page. Here is the URL: http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks_v2/futures/ Actual results: My newest version of Camino 2.1.2 does not display the data on the page. Safari displays the page perfectly. Expected results: The stock futures data should have displayed in the center of the page. Please try it for me. Thanks, Jerry South
It is caused by ad-blocking. The bloomberg people had the weird idea to wrap the content inside a div with class="market_content_with_right_ad"… You can work around this on your side by opening user_ad_blocking.css in a plain text editor (located inside your profile: ~/Library/Application Support/Camino/Chrome) and add the following at the bottom of the file: @-moz-document domain(bloomberg.com) { div[class="market_content_with_right_ad"] {display:block !important; } } Then from Camino preferences > Web Features, toggle 'Block web advertising' off and back on.

We should add that override rule to the default overrides in the next omnibus ad-blocking update. Stupid sites :/

Phillipe's prescription worked perfectly for me. The futures are now appearing. Nice workaround fix. I hope I don't run into another one. Thanks a lot. You guys are super helpful. Jerry South
--> philippe, since he wrote the rule I pasted into the file ;)
