It is not only an issue with the old vs new browsers. I know several 
people, that prefer to disable JS even on new browsers because of 
security reasons. Unfortunately, the browsers does not allow disabling JS on
site base, so even trusted web sites get disabled. On the other hand
HTML5 and CSS for these users are OK.

Another observation about such users is that they think that logging-in
in fossil will need some kind of registration they are not willing to do.
This way they simply never click on login link and never read the 
instructions on the login page, ending with heap of honey-pot links and
not able to navigate the repository.
