The nightly developer edition is still Firefox, just with new stuff. You don't have to give up the browser entirely. It seems to me the XO in its normal operating mode was a similar case here. I hope no one would claim that was non-free.
Why not shipping both versions (dev-edition is not installed by default) of Firefox and make the packaged addons depending on the developer edition? So if someone needs packaged addons or wants bleeding edge features he could replace stable Firefox with the developer edition.
IMHO this would be a suitable solution.
More work for someone to do? If someone wants to do that, OK, but otherwise I think the ESR version is more appropriate balance between stable and current. Otherwise just get binaries of the developer version from Mozilla?
It applies to Iceweasel, too. The Firefox team in Red Hat is not really in the position to throw resources into new things. We already have more development requirements than we can possibly do. So we'll keep packaging Firefox for Fedora because that's the browser we need to support in RHEL, too. So if the decision is Iceweasel (looks like a lot of people in the discussion find Icecat as not so good option), then the question also is who's going to maintain it.
