I know. But isn't it possible to upgrade this features by simply adding extensions in debian?

I just tested in Iceweasel the Add-On function - and indeed, there is a tab which says download Add-Ons, and I think these are pulled from the Mozilla Site, not from Gnuzilla. But I still would be able to surf with IceCat to the Mozilla Website and install their plugins? Or is there something like a warning message popping up: "Maybe Non-Free Software!!"?
