I have a Mac Pro, with Safari 9.1.3 and keep getting, when I am on the internet, new pages from Facebook.com/tr/1x1 pixels. Any ideas on how I can stop this?
MacBook Pro, iOS 10

If the above doesn't work, try going to Safari/Preferences/Extensions and disable all extensions. Quit Safari, reopen, and see if the website will now load. If so, enable extensions one or two at a time until you find which extension is causing the problem.
This is an old enquiry, but had the exact same problem in Dec 2017, so posting this up for those who maybe looking for a different solution... I tried the java, caches and the cookies etc, but nothing worked - Here's how I stopped it:
In my case, the first problem was an overheating macbook pro, another poster said check CPU in Activity Monitor for usage and turn off anything over 75%.
On the activity monitor the Dashboard was showing up at 82%, but trying to close it was impossible, every time I clicked on the dashboard, in a flash, it redirected to www.facebook/tr/ - so I couldn't open, or close the Dashboard.
After clicking on it several times without luck, I noticed it was the Webclips widget, repeatedly loading gallery images from a travel website, but was somehow stuck in a loop and continuously loading. After trying to open Dashboard a dozen times I managed to drag the widget into the middle of the screen, then after more attempts, click on the ℹ icon on the widget, a split second before the redirect. This flipped the widget over to 'edit' mode and stopped it redirecting and closing the dashboard. Problem solved.
Dashboard opened normally, I closed the Websclips widget, the facebook redirect stopped, and my MacBook cooled off immediately and is now running at a normal temperature
Hello, did the answers on this facebook fr 1x1 helped you to solve your specific problem?
Many, many thanks for your posting. I've had this problem for about 2 months and you helped me fix it.
