you may also be interested in GNU icecat - it is also based on firefox
ESR and always comes with a working version of librejs pre-installed

that essentially means that the FSF fully approves of it - currently
the only browsers that the FSF fully approves of are icecat and
iceweasel - this is the quote from the icecat homepage:
"
  While the Firefox       
  source code from the Mozilla project is free software, they
  distribute and recommend non-free software as plug-ins and addons.
  Also their trademark license imposes requirements for the distribution
  of modified versions that make it inconvenient to exercise freedom 3.
