Mats, Jens,
Thank you very much.
I've opened this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481787
I think it may be restricted as it is a copyright issue.
If you would like to be cc'd on the bug, please let me know and I will
try to see if we can do that.

http://www.firefox-browser.at/ seems to be the same?
I think that clearly is trademark infringement (also under Austrian law).

address ... I think it is an obligation to have - need to inform the
competent Hessian authority ...
