My understanding (and I'm not a Mozilla lawyer or anything, so it would be good for someone from the legal team to give final answers here): - Distributing an unmodified, official Firefox build should not be a problem, even if you use it just to start another application using the --app switch). - Building a custom, possibly modified version of Firefox as "XULRunner replacement" and distributing that should not be a problem if built with the "unofficial" branding (the default), since this branding should not contain any trademarks.
