This is correct which is which is why I asked the person complaining about this on fedora-test list to file a bug report which has already been done. So further comments should go there.

IMHO this is non-Free, and obviously both Debian and FSF agree with me,
since they have each forked Firefox.

Debian forked because the logo is non-free and FSF has forked earlier due to non-free components like talkback which we didn't include in Fedora. Export controls do not make a software non-free according to FSF. Refer
