No. Only firmware. Fedora's trademarks are not a problem at all.

Well, Mozilla license definitely is an open-source license.
It's just that the Mozilla packages in Fedora are non-free.
How? Your claim here is certainly not supported by the FSF. although
they have some issues with the recommendation of non-free plugins and if
you consider it a legal question, it is outside the scope of FESCo.
FESCo can still discuss it from a policy perspective but then pointing
to FSF guidelines confuses a policy discussion with a legal one.
