I assume that existance of the initial announcement [1] indicates that
non-easy-solvable issue exists.
I'm skeptical about pressure on Mozilla foundation. They provide a browser
with sensible market share, and are big enough to simply ignore any Debian
actions. Something similar to FDL issue.
Of cource, if people haveenthusiasm and energy to bug Mozilla foundation,
they should go ahaed. But probably not at the cost of removing mozilla
browsers from Debian (and hurting users).
