This started about a week ago. This is only an issue in the latest version of Firefox (I haven't tried it in an older version). The sight looks totally normal in IE/Chrome.

Looks like the problem is on your end my friend :comfort:

But I am sure we can fix this :)
Could be a couple things:
1. Your cookies and/or other data may be stale
Solution: While in FF, at the same time press Ctrl+Shift+Del [or Tools-->Clear Recent History...] and click on details to clear your cookies, cache, and offline Website Date. Restart FF
2. One of your FF addon(s) is causing the problem (e.g. NoScript)
Solution: Try disabling [Tools-->addons] each addon (one at a time), restarting FF each time, and try again.
other suggestions from others users:
it was my Adblock Plus 1.0
I "removed all custom filters" and the SD site is now back to normal.
I did the method using safe-mode, then I figured it might have something to do with Adblock.
The screenshots seem to suggest that your computer is not getting a CSS file from our servers.
Click the following links
http://i2.slickdeals.net/css/beta2/global.css?v=2.31
http://i2.slickdeals.net/css/beta2/forums.css?v=2.14
It should open as a text file, with content similar to the following
* { font-family: arial; }
body { font-size: 62.5%; margin: 0px; background: #E5E5E5 url(http://i2.slickdeals.net/images/slickdeals/bg.png) repeat-x; }
a { color: maroon; }
a img { border: 0; }
form { margin: 0; }
Do they open for you ? If they do - clear your private data as suggested above.
If they don't, click the following links
http://64.38.238.100/css/beta2/global.css?v=2.31
http://64.38.238.100/css/beta2/forums.css?v=2.14
If they still don't work, try the following
Clear your private data as already suggested above. Include cookies, and cache in the process by marking the appropriate checkboxes. Close ALL Firefox windows, wait approximately 10 seconds.
Start your Firefox in Safe Mode, using Start - Programs - Mozilla Firefox - Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). Navigate to www.google.com first, and then navigate to www.slickdeals.net
If the above works, one of your extensions is causing the issue, and you will need to figure out which one, by disabling them one at a time.
If the above doesn't work - there is likely some connection issue, at which point we will need to troubleshoot this further.
Post back with your findings, please include both successes and failures.
Has the problem been resolved? Please let us know how you make out.

its likely that a script is blocking important files from loading such as our CSS.

I finally got around to looking into this, and I found the problem.
Apparently Slick Deals doesn't appreciate my evil, ad-blocking ways. :mad:

Ads? what ads?
Sometimes i forget sites have ads since i have a blocker too . :)
Blocking http://*.googlesyndication.com/* seems to do very well on many sites :)
As others have already told you the problem is that your not getting the CSS files.
From that screenshot you can tell you have images enabled since you can see the sdhome image
from blog.slickdeals.net but you don't have the sd_logo image from i2.slickdeals.net the same
site where the CSS files are located.
Check if your ad blocker is blocking anything from slickdeal.net and remove it from the
block list, i bet you will find i2.slickdeals.net there.

Thanks guys. For some reason my ad-block filter was blocking the CSS files.
Reps to all.
