Another good question.

The answer is "no". I don't know if lawyers went over it, but as I said
in a previous response, we work with the Mozilla team, and this was
discussed with them, they were not surprised. We would not do something
to Firefox that would violate Mozilla's rules, and we for sure wouldn't
make a change like this without discussing with them first.

In sum don't worry, all is fine with our relationship with Mozilla ;)
