"You may distribute unchanged official binaries downloaded from 
mozilla.com to anyone in any way subject to governing law, without 
receiving any further permission from Mozilla Corporation"
"we request that you make available the latest stable version"
"you are not required to ship the source code along with the binaries."

Now, if they don't include the official mozilla installer, and use the 
official binaries but packaged inside their own installer, the situation 
gets more fuzzy.

I've just checked that mozilla.com only provides the installer on 
windows, no zip files, so it's probably a correct interpretation to say 
that only "Firefox Setup 3.5.2.exe" (at this point in time, exact 
version changes frequently) may be redistributed freely, and not the 
files it contains.
