It also breaks add-on compatibility because it sets your user agent to the last ESR version of Firefox, which may be several versions behind the version you're actually running.

That is resolved with 60.x ESR. First released in the early summer and has been the default since September. 52 had no support for webextensions

That's the compatibility issues for webextensions at all, but the bug still exists for extensions that declare compatibility ranges between the latest version and the previous ESR: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1394448
