Yup, that really perfectly sums it up.  The introduction of ads by Mozilla
breaks no Fedora policy, period, end of story.  Notwithstanding the fact
that they are unobtrusive and ridiculously simple to disable.  The only
viable real world free alternative is the Chromium project and it hasn't
yet made it into the official Fedora repository.  The only result from
removing Firefox would be to unnecessarily piss off a vast number of users.

If anything, the resources and angst over Firefox ads should be redirected
to assist in cleaning up whatever mess is preventing Chromium from finally
getting into the official Fedora repositories.
