It's been a while since I last revisited this issue with Mozilla and its

The trademark issue hasn't changed ([1][2]).
Also there is the problem of third-party repositories not commited to
providing only free/libre functional data ([3]).
Mozilla's "trust" on Debian doesn't change much.

section "Software Distributions", subsection "Unaltered
Binaries". Contradicts freedom 2 (to share and sell copies of the
original).
