That is anything not packaged directly by the Firefox team.Yes, another consequence of Mozilla.org and especially Firefox's newfound focus on Windows users. Since Microsoft is unlikely to distribute a copy of Firefox (much less modify it) with Windows, the notion of others distributing it, as Debian and other Linux distributions do, is largely below the radar of those in charge. I believe the maintainer tried to secure permission to use the icon but couldn't. He was lucky to be able to use the name "Firefox" from what I recall.
I doubt he tried very hard since even if mozilla.org granted Debian permission to use it, the permission would likely be non-transferable and consequently not DFSG-free.
