I'm using FIREFOX BROWSER to go to slickdeals.net everyday. But today, it's getting an 500 ERROR CODE. First, it shows 500 error code on the main page slickdeals.net. After I tried to find out what is 500 code error meaning. It said that I should CLEAR BROSWER'S CACHE AND COOKIES. I followed it and clear cache and cookies of slickdeals.net.

After I clear cache and cookies, I could able to go on slickdeals.net main page no problem. But when I click on any product deal, it shows 500 code error again. I checked with other browser like CHROME and EDGE. It seems to be fine. It only got problems with FIREFOX BROWSER from today. Admin needs to check the website.

I attach few pictures to show the problem below.

I have the same issue. Usually the page will load and flash up for a millisecond before the error 500 page pops up.

What OS and browser are you both using? There was another report of 500 errors today for people who are using Firefox.

Firefox, Windows 10 Pro

As the title says, when i click on a deal to view it, i get an error 500 page.

When i disable all my extensions, themes and refresh the browser, i still have the issue.

When I visit via chrome, edge, brave (most of which run the same extensions as i do in ffox, i dont have the issue)

It's happening on all my machines.

Any help would be appreciated.

The developers are working on it. It should be fixed soon. In the meantime Chrome is working normally. Embarrassment

Hi all.

Thank you very much JD713 for taking the time to create a thread about this issue here. We're also receiving some similar reports through other channels so it's definitely not something that is only affecting just a few of you. We're very grateful for all the the details we've received about how you all are viewing the site and what you have tried so far on your end.

At this point, it seems likely this problem is primarily impacting a certain percentage of Firefox users (including some using the mobile version of that browser). Our teams are aware of the situation and looking more into it but we don't have any solid estimate on when it may be fully solved. For now, the only known workaround is to use a browser other than Firefox.

Once we hear more from our teams investigating the matter, we'll follow up with an update.
Look like Admin has fixed the problem. I could use FIREFOX today without any issue. Thank you !!

I encountered this issue today, can't load the homepage. I tried accessing it with four different devices, 2 are not working and 2 are fine. All devices are using Firefox on Windows 10.

The Firefox version is 135.0 (64-bit) on my 2 devices (one good, one not working) but I'm not sure about 2 others in workplace, but I assume they are updated to the latest version.

I am still seeing this issue.
Error occurs when viewing in Incognito, which I always do. The site works while logged in. Ghostery is the ad blocker of choice, but SD will not even work with it disabled.

Thank you for taking the time to report this. The team just tried another fix. Can you please let us know if the site is now working for you in Firefox?

Working again for me.
I wish SD did not personalize so much based on my clicking habits. Incognito is the only way to view newer trending products.
