(Get the code!)
As far as retaining a trademark, I believe the requirement is that it not fall into common use, IE 'Kleenex', etc. (Hence Kleenex-Brand tissues), or 'Google' (as a verb), and that the company assert dominance over the name (hence the previous scandal over not being allowed to use the name Google as a verb).
I'm pretty sure that this trademark dominance is accomplished simply by naming the applications Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, and this is clearly stated in the User-Agent, the Titlebar, and the Help > About... screen.
Although I'm not against an EULA, I would like to see Ubuntu work with Mozilla to come up with a special version that doesn't include all the extraneous wording, or as suggested previously, to show a common-sense EULA, and link to the full EULA if the user wants (something like about:eula)
