I'm using Android + Firefox in Private Mode and I get the same issue - links redirect to stuff like https://tryslate.greyb.com/engage/USD712067S1, but then all I get is a white page.

I have a similar issue with imgur in Europe, but I don't care enough about either website to delve deeper.

I see, I can see the same thing happening here. I wonder what part of private navigation could be breaking the website? I have Firefox's tracking protection set to strict for normal browsing already, so I wasn't expecting a difference between private browsing and normal browsing.

My guess is that it's this issue again: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1639542 but if that's the case I can't really blame the website here, other than that it doesn't show a fallback error message when Javascript crashes.

Based on a sibling comment, I'm guessing this website is using Firebase Auth, which uses the IndexedDB API, which Mozilla has disabled for private browsing.

One of the console messages.
