Brian, please allow me to explain my point of view with this.

Firstly, as William has noted, if I object or simply dont agree to the
licence what do I do? I can keep going on without in anyway indicating I
accept it.

My biggest objection though, and one I think would be shared by many, is
that I don't want to sit there, study and consider the license in any
detail. One of the chief attributes of Ubuntu is the licence it comes
with and I dont want to have to analyse how this effects me as a user
with firefox potentially changing the licence.

if the licence of firefox in no way limits what I can do in the same way
as the other software in a default ubuntu build there is no reason to
show the user it.

if the licence of firefox is different and requires special
consideration, then that alarms me.
