There's also:
* proprietary Adobe code for implementing DRM ("EME")
* Hello, which has proprietary dependencies on the back-end - similiar issue to UbuntuOne

I wrote about these in more detail here:

Mozilla has been flailing since it lost funding from Google, and is currently suffering from terrible leadership from a software freedom and community stewardship POV. As well as these terrible decisions on allowing proprietary bits and DRM, it has been canning projects left and right (apparently Thunderbird is next on the chopping block). If things don't improve at the Mozilla Foundation, it may be necessary for the developer community to walk away and create a new stewardship body, like the Document Foundation folks did when they walked from OpenOffice.
