I accept some kind of prepackaged links if Mozilla doesn't allow the 
removal, if they point to web services and no traditional contextual ads 
(buy, buy, buy), and if (mandatory) any asset needed to show those links 
(thumbnails) are prepackaged and distributed with the binary (that could 
generate problems with logos and trademarks) or it is downloaded form 
Mozilla servers without ever sending information to third party ad servers
