Doesn’t Ubuntu install any restricted packages
by default, like linux-restricted-modules?

There’s always the option of IceWeasel in main, Firefox in restricted
(or multiverse, or commercial). On one hand, it would mean one more
browser to support; on the other, Firefox could then simply consist
of the pristine Mozilla sources (and there are people who say Mozilla
binaries are faster, and there’s this whole Pango enabling thing), with
a ‘no support by Canonical’ policy. The IceWeasel packages would have to
confict with Firefox ones, though (or does IceWeasel use something other
than ~/.mozilla/firefox?).
