I added a blur effect svg to my HTML(text/html):
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>
...
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="0">
<filter height="116%" width="116%" y="-8%" x="-8%" id="svgBlur">
<feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="8" in="SourceGraphic"/>
</filter>
</svg>
</body>
</html>
Which I reference to in my CSS sheet:
#page-container {
filter: url("#svgBlur");
-webkit-filter: blur(8px);
}
Doing this makes the #page-container appear white (FF doesn't recognize the SVG filter).
The funky part:
When I disable the above filter rule in Firebug and readd it in the style attribute of the #page-container, it works like a charm.
<div id="page-container" style="filter: url("#svgBlur");">
What am I overseeing?

Problem on Firefox 25 OSX. Webkit browsers work fine, because they use the css blur filter
The filter CSS property applies graphical effects like blur or color shift to an element. Filters are commonly used to adjust the rendering of images, backgrounds, and borders. Included in the CSS standard are several functions that achieve predefined effects.
The url() filter function takes in a reference to an SVG <filter> element that is to be applied to the element via the CSS filter property. The reference to the filter is the location of an XML file that specifies an SVG filter, and may include an anchor to a specific filter element.
Overview. The HTML Filter is an Okapi component that implements the IFilter interface for HTML and XHTML documents.
#svgBlur
is a relative URL. It is converted to an absolute URL by prepending the name of the file it is in so
filter: url("#svgBlur");
in your case is really just a shorthand for
filter: url("stylesheet.css#svgBlur");
Which doesn't point to anything.
You need to put the name of the html file in the URL
filter: url("yourhtmlfile.html#svgBlur");
will work. And that's why it works when it's in the html file of course as the prepended filename points to the right place in that case.
I included the svg as a base64 string directly into the css file. This solved my problem.
filter:url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+PGZpbHRlciBpZD0ic3ZnQmx1ciI+PGZlR2F1c3NpYW5CbHVyIGluPSJTb3VyY2VHcmFwaGljIiBzdGREZXZpYXRpb249IjgiLz48L2ZpbHRlcj48L3N2Zz4=#svgBlur)
