The image files, as with all the rest of Firefox code, is covered by the 
MPL version 2.0.

I am not a lawyer, but I believe you can mix MPL and MIT-licensed code 
as long as you follow the license terms for the MPL files. Those terms 
won't "infect" other files in your project, since the MPL is not a viral 
license.
