That was Firefox 3.0 included as RC in Fedora 9, from an user
perspective my memories about it are sweet... it was worse with
Thunderbird 3, which was included in a release (F11) in Beta stage, and
not even a late beta, it was something like Beta2, but AFAIK Firefox is
expected to be RC around F14.
And while Thunderbird 3 was included due to the slow development pace of
the upstream (we used to have a very old Tb 2), Firefox 4 comes with at
least a killer feature, WebM (IIRC, another killer feature is the new js
engine)

Quite the contrary.
The Linux kernel is trademarked. Linus isn't a jerk and doesn't
prevent distros from patching it.
Mozilla's trademark requirements violate Freedom #2
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it
do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a
precondition for this.
We're NOT allowed to make changes (patches) without their permission.
This is defacto non-free. I understand we work with upstream but that
shouldn't prevent us from maintaining it.
