It's not the first time I had issues with aliexpress, my firefox used to
hate their "slidy thing" on the logon dialogue.

 They get really antsy if you don't run all their spying scripts - ublock
origin blocks 53 on just the front page, and if you scroll the spying
count climbs - 126, 174, ...
 Sometimes they just go in a sulk and do the slidy thing and/or lock me out,
or force a login just to browse products.  The current annoyance is I click
on something that's in a 'bundle deal' and it shows me a full page of bundle
deals but no details about the product I was interested in.[1]
 It's a hellhole, but it's a cheap hellhole with often stuff that can't be
got elsewhere...

  [1] Workaround, I get a bundle deal link like:
 https://www.aliexpress.com/ssr/300000512/BundleDeals2?spm=
   &a2g0o.home.pcJustForYou.14.[hex-id]
   &productIds=1005007476886364:[16 digit decimal number]
   &pha_manifest=ssr&_immersiveMode=true&disableNav=YES
   &sourceName=RECOMMENDProduct&utparam-url=scene%3ApcJustForYou%7Cquery_from%3A
 If I extract the productId and convert it to a URL
 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007476886364.html
 then I can see the item I clicked on.

Mmm. It works OK with me ans ublock, yes the bundle deals are bollocks mostly.
