Pretending to be a newer version (e.g. Firefox 45 Intel) helps in this case. Try the User Agent Switcher add-on.

Hi Chris.
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately, that add-on doesn't get real great reviews (tedious?)
I know that Firefox 46.0 works with the weather.com site.
Is it likely that TenForFox will move to a comparable version soon?
Thanks - Roy

It'll be a while until TFF 45 is ready. You can follow progress here

But the underlying problem (i.e. websites not being aware of Firefox ESR versions and declaring them "outdated" even though they are not) will remain. So it's always good to have a user agent switcher at hand.
There are other add-ons with similar functionality if you don't want to use User Agent Switcher. If you need help setting it up, just ask. It is a bit tedious, but once you're done you won't have to worry about it anymore. I've been using it for ages and it's perfectly reliable and safe.
