the 3-licensed FF source code is free software, but the binary FF released by Mozilla are not freely redestribuable (including trademark and copyrighted stuff) so they are not free
More specifically, you can redistribute Mozilla's binaries, but you can't distribute modified versions of those binaries.
FF includes some non-free plugins (plugins with a non free software license) like adobe reader and flash
Firefox does not include Adobe Reader of Adobe Flash (or any other non-free plugins as far as I know). But it does recommend them.
FF recommend non-free software as plug-ins and addons FF suggest using non free formats
Which non-free formats would that be? And how is IceCat different in that respect?
