I think I agree with that.  It's not subject to the firefox copyright,
as far as I know, and it's an honest use of the trademark.  If the icon
is modified to refer to something else, then any bug may be caused by
the trademark, rather than the icon's copyright licence terminating,
which is the most common trademark/licensing bug.

Thanks for tackling this,
