If there are that many, I guess a lot of these are either not brought

(DDs, surely the correct tags are moreinfo and help if you don't
understand why?) because someone dared to file a "foo is non-free" bug
against their beloved package. Neither is particularly healthy, but it
doesn't look as one-sided as your comment suggests.
We do collectively understand that there are Free, full-featured

browsers *other* than Netscape, right?
You're seriously suggesting that Debian wouldn't be laughed out of the
park for releasing without Mozilla at the moment? [...]
Do other Mozilla packages suffer from the bug(s) keeping Mozilla
Firebird 0.9.1 in experimental? If so and it's not solved, this line
of discussion may be moot anyway :-/
