The console shows: "This web browser is not supported by SlideDeck. Please view this page in a modern, CSS3 capable browser or a current version of Inernet Explorer"

This message comes from slidedeck.jquery.lite.js:652:

if((self.browser.opera && self.browser.version < "10.5") || self.browser.msie6 || self.browser.firefox2 || self.browser.firefox30){
                if(typeof(console) != "undefined"){
                    if(typeof(console.error) == "function"){
                        console.error("This web browser is not supported by SlideDeck. Please view this page in a modern, CSS3 capable browser or a current version of Inernet Explorer");
                    }
                }
                return false;
            }

And in this block passes cause self.browser.firefox2 is true.

browser.firefox2 is set in slidedeck.jquery.lite.js:85:
firefox2: UA.match(/firefox\/2/) ? true : false,

So this is caused by a broken ua sniffer finding firefox/2 in firefox/20.

Temporary workaround is to go to about:config, create a new string value named general.useragent.override.babygooroo.com

and enter a useragent with firefox/20 replaced with firefox/19.

Looks like you need to request an updated script from them. See https://getsatisfaction.com/slidedeck/topics/slidedeck_stopped_work_sudenly_with_firefox_for_no_reason
