I have recently encountered the following issue: a user couldn't access a website that was using an intermediate VeriSign certificate because it is no longer included in Firefox.

Some sources claim that Firefox will import the certificate from websites that send it, others say that it won't.

Will it? If not, is it supposed to?

Firefox is supposed to, and does, import intermediate certificates that are provided by the web server it's currently talking to. It won't go out and find them for itself. Most likely the website in question has omitted to install the correct certificate chain.
