Heya, I'm not a legal expert, but I understand that while you can build Firefox from source, distributing it under the "Firefox" name and branding requires explicit permission from Mozilla. The MPL is quite dense, so I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. I *love* copyleft licenses /s.
This leads me to wonder: do projects need explicit permission to use Mozilla's branding when distributing modified versions? For instance, I understand the OpenBSD ports@ mailing list applies significant patches to Firefox to support pledge() and unveil(), yet retains the official branding. Given OpenBSD's strong commitment to respecting licenses, I'm curious- does the project have permission from Mozilla to use the Firefox branding in this context? I couldn't find any public record of such an agreement, but perhaps I didn't search thoroughly enough. I'm genuinely interested in understanding how this works.
