Follow Debian on this - any discussion has already been covered there in great detail so there's no need to re-plow that ground. It looks a LOT like Mozilla is timing this to pressure Ubuntu to make a "snap decision".

Also note that agreeing to the Firefox EULA is also agreeing to the Mozilla Firefox Privacy Policy and Mozilla Privacy Policy for which the user is responsible to check for updates. How many users are going to read and understand all three of those?

I'm disappointed that Mr. Suttleworth's initial response assumes that most Ubuntu users would prefer to have Firefox as the default browser (so much so that they would accept a EULA), and that the objective should be how Ubuntu can meet Mozilla's requirements.

Mozilla's "requirements" are only become relevant because they are coming dangerously close to conflicting with the requirements of Free and Open software. Were it not so, we would not be having this discussion.
