In that case, your Dashboard must still have something on it, though you cannot see it. Perhaps a 1x1 pixel image in a web clipping, which would be easily hidden from view and could have been accidentally added to the Dashboard. Try resetting your Dashboard according to the directions here:

Note that the Library folder in question is invisible in OS X 10.8, so hold down the option key while opening the Go menu in the Finder, and select the Library item that appears there.

I also have this exact problem, same domain and screen. I've spent at least 3 hours on the phone with Apple support, gone to 3 different levels of support and still have the problem. I don't use Twitter and never have! I've tried to reset Safari and clean out the cache, several times, still nothing.

we are having the same problem too with safari and are not twitter users at all! we have also cleared our cache and history and cookies and all that nonsense. did a software update too. please help - this is so super annoying and only happening with our safari browser.

thanks for the tips.

i read in another string of posts on this very subject that widgets caused this problem. but we don't have any widgets on our laptop here.

and i'm not sure how to remove a web clip or what one is. thanks for your continued help!!

Is this happening in Safari? On all sites? If so, what extensions do you have installed? (Safari -> Preferences -> Extensions) If only when you have specific sites loaded, it's a problem with those sites.

Sorry, your right I forgot to mention the key info.

Running OS X 10.8.4, Mid-2010 MBP, using Safari with the only extenisions "ad blocker" and "reload" (nothing else),

I don't use twitter. I did turn off extensions but same results.

A new Safari window pops up with this address everytime I open Dashboard: " https://twitter.com/i/jot "

The only time this happens is when I open Dashboard, even when I don't have the Safari application open; if I open Dashboard (thru Finder, F4 key or Dock) it automactically opens Safari app and a window pops open and goes straight to this address. It also does this when I'm already using Safari, doesnt matter which site I'm on. I've cleaned cache and other suggestions still same results.

Curently I do not have any widgets in dashboard, it's empty or it apprears empty. I deleted all widgets and it stopped but I then added a widget and the pop up window came back so I went back and again deleted the widgets and did a OS update but I'm still getting the pop up window.

This is very frustrating and never experienced this before on a apple computer, only a windows OS computer.

Please let me know if you need anymore info. Thanks

Do you do anything Twitter-wise? r.twimg.com belongs to twitter.

It seems not to be a Apple problem.

http://r.twimg.com/jot pops up serveral times with a new tab in Firefox on a Win7 netbook.

Dont know what generates this and how to stop it.

reset Safari or at least trash cookies and clean Safari cache.

Hi deelite33,

It been over 6 months and we still have the problem!!

If you find a solution please pass it on. Thanks.

Do you have any web clips on your dashboard?

I have a few that are causing the same.

My guess is r.twimg.com/jot is a tracking pixel.

Try removing the web clips and see if that fixes it.

I ended up having the same anomaly right after I have installed a widget tracking commodities prices.

Has there been any solutions yet to this problem? I've been working on it but still no fix, it's very annoying and reminds me of havig a virus on a windows computer.

Thanks
