Firefox already ships with Yahoo - I have not had occassion to read the trademark guidelines but I would be surprisedif modifying the packaged defaults breaks the agreement.

Prepare to be surprised!

Selected special partners can get certain changes approved at Mozilla's discretion. (Which is a decent stab at a compromise, don't get me wrong.) But it's interesting that Canonical could get something like this through. Maybe they just decided that the Linux market is small enough that it's not an argument worth provoking.)
