The site works with FF Extended Support Release v78.6.1esr. It works with FF v84.0.2. These are the latest versions of both flavors of FF.
But these are not a good analogue for SeaMonkey 2.53. The codebase is (I read) similar to FF 52ESR with fixes and enhancements back-ported from later versions. Hence, the interesting test is FF 52 or 60 (possibly 45 also). I assume the site used to work with those FF versions - does it still?
As well as the older FF ESR versions as listed above, you could try SM 2.53.1 and then if that works, 2.53.2, 2.53.3, 2.53.4, 2.53.5. This would help to identify what in the 4000+ changes to SM over that range of versions might be causing it not to behave like 2.49.5.
What it is that isn't working is that left-click and hold on the map is supposed to allow you to move the map around in the window to re-center it on a location of interest.
I also found that neither hovering nor clicking the map pins did anything, which I guess must be wrong.
How do you think the site owner should be able to determine what the SeaMonkey developers changed between v2.49.5 and v2.53.5.1 to make the browser incompatible with his site?
I am guessing that the site owner understands what the site is doing and hence has some insight into what may be failing (to cause the left-click selection to fail), given that left-click continues to work fine in other sites including those with a draggable map. Perhaps there is some test version of the site that would provide more detailed logging in the browser. Perhaps there is some feature of the G Maps replacement that conflicts with SM 2.53.5.1. Perhaps some 3rd party JS has a user-agent test for SeaMonkey < 2.50 ... and so on.
Unfortunately this is the kind of compatibility hole that will occur when the lunatics (the main browser makers, and G in particular) are running the asylum with changing ("innovating") baselines instead of properly versioned, independently managed, interface specifications.
