Page now only renders in troubleshoot mode, it worked OK, not looking like an extension problem
Hello, recently this page stopped working with Firefox. Connection to the server isn't an issue. The source appears to download just fine. It's only the rendering that's problematic.
It's a static page served locally (LAN) from the IPMI interface of my NAS/fileserver. This page used to work fine until a few months ago. Some Firefox update must have broken the rendering. I tried it in Troubleshoot Mode, and it displays OK as it used to. I tried in ordinary (not Troubleshoot) mode, disabling hardware acceleration and disabling all the extensions, but it just won't show.
Here's the full source for the page, in case it helps. Can anyone point me to some useful information?

What is wrong with the rendering ?
Can you attach a screenshot?
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
- use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
Thanks for your reply, @cor-el!
No need for a screenshot: the screen is totally blank.
The new profile solves the problem. However, I would like to keep this one. I have many extensions installed, with individual preferences and configs I would hate to lose. So I'm hoping to locate the problem. What's weird is that manually disabling the extensions or hardware acceleration doesn't solve it.
That's why I said it doesn't look like an extension problem; although the hardware acceleration thing shouldn't matter, either. The page contains no animations or fancy graphics - just a few static images.
Uncertain if I should mark your reply as an answer that solves the problem yet. I think I'll wait a bit, hoping to get the magic suggestions that helps me find the culprit :-)
Thanks again
EDIT: At the very least I can make a new default profile in a different window when I need to access the NAS IPMI interface. So your reply does solve the problem, in a way.
