We use ESR (currently 31.4, although I'm aware that 31.6 has been released
-- just not had time to see what they've changed) and have not experienced
the problem (dropdowns) you appear to have. Note that we use Koha 3.8.24
in production, but never found browser problems during testing of 3.16/3.18.
I would also tend to agree that Chrome poses problems, not sure if they're
purely security, but here in Canada our privacy laws (PIPEDA in particular)
are such that we also have not deployed Chrome. We do use Comodo's Dragon
(a "secure" Chrome) for limited browser compatibility checks, but have
noticed that most users appear to prefer Firefox ESR (which I don't think
is fully coordinated with the latest "public" releases -- this whole
question of stable, old stable, new stable, alpha, beta, whatever, is a
jungle of differing opinions ;=}. )

I would like to hear from anyone who is using Firefox ESR (Extended
Support Release https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/) for
staff client access with Koha or who knows anything about Firefox ESR
which is supposed to be in sync with the current Firefox release for
general users.
Our IT group only installs Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) on
computers it manages
(https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/). It is supposed to
be in sync with the current Firefox release for general users, but clearly
it is not. Even the most simple elements of the staff client (Koha version
3.16.04) do not work in Firefox ESR. Just one example is that most
dropdowns do not function . When using the general release of Firefox
(version 36.04)
I believe that my problems are specifically with using the staff client. I
have tried using the OPAC with this version of Firefox and have not found
any problems.
I wish Chrome could be an answer to this problem, but our IT security
group sees it as a security risk and will not allow it to be installed.
This is how life in state government in the US goes....
