My default - stock web browser - (the nameless one that comes with the phone) :) has stopped going to the SlickDeals Mobile website. Even if it is directed to m.slickdeals.com - it just ditches the m and goes to the main site.
The browser has not been asked to change user agent to desktop - so that is not it.

A little history - The browser was asked once to go to the main - non mobile website - to access certain features not available on the mobile website - but now it just plain flat does not go back to mobile.

I can perhaps "clear browser data" after backing up my bookmarks - and that should do it - I am looking for a more surgical approach that does not nuke my saved passwords and such.

Thanks for reading this far :) Good week to you all.

Two options: close out of browser and clear the cache. You may also want to look at the bottom of the website- MANY websites have a "mobile version" button you can click.
 
Cleared cache, and browsing history in two separate attempts fed it the copied URL http://m.slickdeals.net/ the browser promptly goes to the desk top website. I'd previously tried the clicking mobile site link at the bottom. I guess time to backup the bookmarks and clear app data :-) thanks for your time though.
 
Solved, backed up bookmarks cleared app cache and data, restored bookmarks. Can access the mobile site again.
