ESR user for many years, plus useragent-switcher for sites that pretend to care about my "security" (but mostly care about CSS eye candy and the latest whizzbang). Free beta tester for other people isn't in my job description ;-)

What kind of site does that? I'm on ESR too (from Debian's repos) and never seen anything like it

Specifically this example I don't know, but there are pretty big differences between look and feel on websites when sending a Chrome UA vs a Firefox UA. The most obvious example is Google.
I just lie about the version: an ESR can lag current by 8 major versions, ~12 months (with full security patching of course)
Citrix support kb is one. I've heard Twitter & Spotify too.
