If this were a trademark, how about these files:

$ dpkg -L iceweasel | grep firef
/usr/share/iceweasel/defaults/preferences/firefox.js
/usr/share/iceweasel/defaults/preferences/firefox-l10n.js
/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
/usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/mozilla-firefox.1.gz
/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.png
/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin

Also, iceweasel stores its settings in ~/.mozilla/firefox. And I guess
there are many other places where "firefox" appears in the Iceweasel
bundle, and this is not a copyright infringement, just like setting the
User-Agent to the same that Firefox does it not a copyright infringement.
