AIUI, Mozilla doesn't actually like downstreams changing too much in
Firefox. I don't know exactly where their 'lines' are, but they are
known to assert trademark rights against downstreams to prevent them
changing some things and still calling the result 'Firefox'. (This
policy is why Debian ships 'Iceweasel' or whatever instead - so they
can modify it how they like without Mozilla complaining).
