The solutions presented here by Mozilla seems definitely better!

I might have missed something important, so please correct me if I'm
wrong. I wonder about the "non-free" status of the Firefox binary. As
everyone said, considering the Ubuntu code, only free binaries have the
right to be in the main repository. So what for Firefox?

I also wonder about the motivations of Mozilla to build a closed binary?
Their web services really can't be opened? If I understood well, the
AGPL licence is maid to ensure web services' openness.

I don't know for you, but all this "non-free" stuff about Firefox
strongly reminds me the XFree86 project that didn't want to hear the
opinion of those "zealots". It ended, as you know it, with a far better
project in many ways: Xorg.
