AIUI, Mozilla doesn&#39;t actually like downstreams changing too much in<br>
Firefox. I don&#39;t know exactly where their &#39;lines&#39; are, but they are<br>
known to assert trademark rights against downstreams to prevent them<br>
changing some things and still calling the result &#39;Firefox&#39;. (This<br>
policy is why Debian ships &#39;Iceweasel&#39; or whatever instead - so they<br>
can modify it how they like without Mozilla complaining).<br>
