According to Wikipedia:
In February of 2006, Mike Connor, representing the Mozilla Foundation,
wrote to Debian and informed them that Mozilla did not consider the
way in which Debian was using the Firefox name to be acceptable.
Debian's previous agreement which allowed them to use the Firefox name
was no longer valid. Further messages from Mike Connor clarified
Mozilla's current policies: "Yes,if you are shipping a browser
called Firefox, we should be signing off on every deviation from
what we ship."; and "If you are going to use the Firefox name, you
must also use the rest of the branding." But Debian could not use
the logo because of the Debian Free Software Guidelines

There is an opening.
The unbranded Firefox logo can be used. Look to the left at the wikipedia page
explaining the issues.
