Receiving HTTP/2 403 with specific user agent

I use Firefox and have a hard time trying to load the Jotform website. It would return "403" as the body and nothing else. Copying the request as cURL, I narrowed it down to the user agent. If I change the user agent, I get a normal response. In the browser, if I change the user agent, reload the page to get the response and cookies, and then change the user agent back to the "problem" user agent, it works. It seems to happen only for fresh requests (i.e. no cookies) with the Firefox 128.0. Changing the version works. This is not specific to any particular IP. Is this a Cloudflare issue or site issue? Other sites work so I don't think CF is blocking Firefox. In case it's not clear, I am not the site owner. I'm a lowly user trying to troubleshoot a very specific problem.
