Can YOU please explain me what *important* differences there are?

Otherwise I would like to see what kind of OPERATIONAL difference you
have found:

There is actually an operational difference. In the about:config page
the setting general.useragent.extra.firefox is set to
"Iceweasel/2.0.0.1". Looks harmless, but it stopped me from logging
on to a website. It would only let me in when I set it to
"Firefox/2.0.0".

Might want to let the webmaster know about W3C standards and explain why
following them strictly is a better idea than anal-retentive User-Agent
string checking, while you're at it. Bonus points if you know the direct
email address to that webmaster's boss.
