Comment 215 for bug 269656

The Mozilla organization has the right to make this request
in exactly the same way that anyone has the right to write a
closed-source program if he wishes.

This just means that somebody is misguided within the Mozilla
organization, and this somebody will continue to try gaining
control over other people distributions.

In conclusion, Debian's response was correct:
Just ditch the branded firefox and make iceweasel the default.
