He's not talking about adding a theme, or adding bookmarks, things like that.  
Some of these distro's disable features, and change code in ways that down 
right break the app.  

What I would call for is a themed, and bookmarked version where the underlying 
code was what you get from Mozilla.  If any of these Distros think they can 
help improve the code let 'em join up with Mozilla and contribute like the 
rest of the world. Too many people use firefox, and Mozilla browsers at this 
point for Debian to start trying to throwing its weight around.  One of these 
days someone is going to wake up and realize that Ubuntu has a better debian 
setup than debian and that's where the developers, and user community is 
going to go.  As far as I can tell, the sooner the better.
