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?
