Is it allowed to redistribute Firefox with a different home (start) page
as default, and still call it firefox?
No, not without permission. Under the Mozilla trademark policy
http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/trademarks/
permission is granted only for distribution of unmodified binaries.
Distribution of modified binaries requires permission if they use the
Firefox trademarks (or other Mozilla marks).
http://www.foxload . com/firefox-de.html (link made unclickable) is
doing exactly that. A quick test in a VM showed no other nasty things,
but someone distributing outdated firefox versions from a
official-looking, adwords-advertised site as a kind of "adware" does not
exactly meet my definition of ethical behaviour.
For future reference, you can direct these sorts of issues to
[email protected]. (I'll forward this one myself.)
