I've read through the Debian bug report where this very problem is being 
discussed right now:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622

I think Mozilla's restrictions on the trademark are a real problem. For 
example, they don't even tolerate SECURITY updates without explicitly approving 
every single patch. They have also pretty-much backpedaled from a previous 
agreement they had with Debian (with the justification that that agreement was 
with Gerv from the Foundation and now it's the Corporation which decides), who 
is guaranteeing us that they won't do it to Fedora too? Who's guaranteeing us 
that they won't refuse to approve an important patch (or worse, ALL new 
patches) in the future? I'd really suggest following Debian's renaming here 
(with the same name if possible, to reduce confusion).
