This seems odd. I had hoped we would get the updated version with a bit 
more diagnostics information in the source to help tell why before 
responding. But could you post the user-agent and accept-language (e.g. 
from http://www.myhttp.info/ ) to help debug this?

There is the "Change System, Version or Language". I think that only one 
version should be given as default. But if another link should be given, 
I don't know, nor what terms they would be looking for. Firefox have a 
ESR ( http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ ) but don't 
link it from the main download page ( 
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/ ). Well, actually they do, 
below the Aurora/Beta links, not that prominent.

The buttons are labeled with a short description ("Translated user 
interface" and "LibreOffice built-in help") which was intended as a way 
of indicating to the user what they where getting (not much sense in 
saying something is optional, if you don't tell them what it is god for) 
and thus that it as optional. But it could of course say "(Optional)" 
explicitly on the button, or perhaps just say "(Required)" on the main 
download.

This has been changed in github.

Yes, that link is redundant. The new download page actually give access 
to more downloads that the current, and as explained in the initial 
mail, I tried to make sure that every file was available through the new 
interface. The "other way"-link just expanded the "non-javascript" 
version which was used as a "data-store" for the javascript-version.
