Or...

4. Move Firefox package to "restricted" repository and provide a free
version of Firefox under a different name in the "main" repository.

I run Ubuntu because, if I chose so, it is a free software
distribution. My choice is one of ethics, not practicality. I do not
believe I am alone in this position.

Firefox is my favourite browser and if it get's moved to "restricted"
with no alternative I will stop using it on principal, or more likely,
switch to using Debian.

As someone who develops packages for Debian I feel fairly confident in
saying that providing a free and non-free version of Firefox from the
same source package would be a trivial task.
