Except for that fact that Mozilla Firefox is not free software.

What makes it non-free, you ask? I refer you back to the four basic
freedoms.
For a program to be free you must be able to use all four freedoms on a
commercial of non-commercial basis [0]. That's an important part:
Commercial
and non-commercial use must be treated entirely equally.

Mozilla does not allow freedom #2 on a commercial basis, rendering
Mozilla-branded copies non-free [1]. Recommending that someone use a
non-free
program is probably not a good idea.
