Agreed with FireFox in its default state with the services on, it is not free.
The trademark issue also pushes to envelope, I can understand Debian's view.
If Ubuntu has other apps that are loaded by default, that are encumbered,
   It really raises the question what is Ubuntu view of "free" and exactly what this apps are.

I do like the look of new FireFox pages, I do not like the method of hiding the non-free license. This is core issue. EULA suck, but the concept to get this agreement in front of the user is OK. But FireFox could have made the new page / first link on their website and offer to download add-on/turn-on this non-free service, once the user is made a where of the benefits and "cost", would have been stellar.

As it is left now, if left as mock ups show, FireFox must be considered non-free, hence moved to multi-verse.
