Hi,
To mark the fact that the Debian packages contain modifications which
were not reviewed by the Mozilla foundation, the Firefox and Thunderbird
were rebranded as Iceweasel and Icedove.
If I understand correctly, the use of the Firefox and Thunderbird
trademarks are only allowed for unmodified versions ; exceptions can be
granted on a case-to-case basis. However, it does not fit well the work
practices of Debian, in particular for security support, in which Debian
puts emphasis on backporting changes to stable versions, whereas the
Mozilla foundation favors the upgrade to the latest version.
Have a nice day,
