 * status:  new => needs_information


Comment:

 I think this is caused by Tor Browser's anti-fingerprinting features. What
 happens if you use about:config to set `ui.use_standins_for_native_colors`
 to `false`? You may also need to set `browser.display.document_color_use`
 to `2`. Note that it is not recommended to keep these changes because they
 may help a website identify you.
