Company hardware isn't checked by user agents but actual running processes

    You're saying they have some sort of app that actively blocks firefox from running on their laptop? I fortunately never worked in a company that did something like this. I would say it's more likely that the web application simply checks user agent and blocks unsupported browsers.

    Yes, companies have software running on company property usually that checks what you're running and installing. I can't even get admin perms on my work machine without asking IT with a good reason. They can also see your browser history and what websites you go to, as an fyi to not browse anything that you wouldn't feel comfortable talking to your boss and HR about on a work machine.
