I'd say we're dealing with another fine example of WS, i.e., Weird Shi Stuff.

How I arrived at that pref: I tried changing View > Page Style to "No Style" and text appeared. So I looked through the css prefs and saw one that had "filters" in its name, and guessed that a filter would be needed to change colors to grays. So it was mainly a guess. And it's still unknown exactly why the page is blank for some of us when the pref is true.

Firefox 34 had color because its pref was false by default.
Good detective work!

@Reflective - the extending the server time allows for slow or busy sites to stay connected.
This was sometimes necessary with dial up and early versions of Firefox, it might also be a security thing, similar to being too slow with a Captcha page but that's guessing.
I figured a Southeast Asian banking site might be a bit slower due to high traffic volumes.
The warning panel of the server timing out seemed a good clue.
Putting the page in the W3C Validator shows 24 errors and one fatal error which stops the process.
One of the items seems to be a timeout call.

It also works if I use the Inspector to disable a filter rule for the body.: filter: grayscale(100%);
https://www.kasikornbank.com/_catalogs/ ... /theme.css

Code: Select all

body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    position: relative;
    overflow: visible;
    overflow-y: visible;
    overflow-x: hidden;
	
	/* IE */
    filter: progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1);
	-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
	-moz-filter: grayscale(100%);
	-ms-filter: grayscale(100%);
    -o-filter: grayscale(100%);
    /*! filter: grayscale(100%); */
    filter: gray;
}

That link just loads the code dickvl. Was that the intention?

I tried your suggestion and set both network configurations to 600 like you suggested, but it didn't make any difference unfortunately Grumpus.

Yes, that is the CSS file with the CSS code used of the https://www.kasikornbank.com website.
https://www.kasikornbank.com/EN/Rate/Pa ... hange.aspx

Using the Inspector to remove the checkmark for this filter rule in the body will comment out this specific filter rule in the Style Inspector.
/*! filter: grayscale(100%); */
That makes the page display for me.
So it looks that grayscale(100%); isn't working in the current release.
I can confirm that is works in DE (57.0b6) and Nightly (58.0a1), so apparently this has been fixed.

I'm now getting a color problem on https://www.bangkokpost.com/ whether "layout.css.filters.enabled" is set to false or not. The page briefly displays the site in full color and then switches to a miserable grey color.

UPDATE: it's apparently related to the cremation ceremony for the late king whereby all Thai sites have adopted the grey color again.
