It looks like your right.
There was a bug deal a while back about Mozilla trying to relicense
their code under multiple licenses including GPL.  I don't know if they
ever followed through and got all the developers to sign off on it.

http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/relicensing-faq.html

I assumed Firefox was GPL'd because of that but it appears I was wrong.
If I grep for GPL in the Firefox source I *do* see it come up.  I don't know
if that means some pieces *are* GPL'd or not.
