You are not alone. [1] There is a plague of sites trying to get me to download their f_cking crappy little apps. It's completely stupid and entirely contrary to what the www is about and they can all just f_ck right off as far as I'm concerned. Incidentally, I see the same fuzzy-image behaviour from F_ckr as you do, although it does sometimes resolve itself, eventually, if I have the patience to wait. That's with Safari on an iPad. [1] one of my favourite book titles is a collection of readers' letters to the Daily Telegraph, called "Am I alone in thinking...?".
