My default browser is Camino.

I recently auto updated Camino to Version 2.1.2 (1.9.2.28 20120308211433)

I now am running the latest versions of both Camino & Javascript.

SInce that time, but not realised the time frame until today, certain webpages show for an instant, then go to a blank white screen. (No, not naughty ones !)

such as

Humans of New York : 12thBlog

in fact all 12th blog pages !!!
All would show perfectly using Safari 5.1.5 with Javascript enabled.

I finally tracked down the problem to a Camino / Javascript combination.

Javascript is need by some websites I visit, so at the moment I have to keep enabling and disabling it.

Any suggestions anyone?

Update,

In fact, going back just one version of Camino, to
Version 2.1.1 (1.9.2.27 20120217201925)

Cures the 12th webpages loading

No need to keep enabling / disabling Javascript...

but not the

Apparently some adservers have found a new way (scripting) of loading ads that doesn't work well with Gecko 1.9.2 (Camino and Firefox 3.6).

adserver.adtechus.com is causing the issue

Software updated to 10.7.4 this morning via Software Update.

The 10.7.4 update seems to have resolved a conflict I was having with Camino 2.1.2 and Javascript, where some web pages would load, then instantly go to a blank white screen, which I initially resolved by reverting to Camino 2.1.1, otherwise it was a case of me disabling Javascript when this happened in Camino 2.1.2
