Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox is currently located in the main section of the Ubuntu archive.
Software in the main section must be "free" as listed in
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components with "free"
defined in http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/philosophy

Now, with Firefox, I can not alter it in any way, not even a bug fix,
without Mozilla claiming trademark infringement - eg see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/269656

As a result, based on this, Firefox should be moved to the restricted
section of the archive to correctly reflect that it has restrictions
above and beyond those found in "main"
