In Ubuntu, the trick I do is to use binary packages of the latest stable version and source packages from the upcoming (yet unreleased) version.
When something is missing you can download the source package of the new version, make the compile, generate a binary package and install it in an automated way.
An extra plus: during the process you can also patch the source.
Let's consider this route for GUI bugs, but for security bugs the need is more urgent and passing through Mozilla Bugzilla and official firefox release (or at least one nightly build but signed by Mozilla) is quite slow.
The same thing goes for every patch debian/ubuntu people would like to apply. There is also the possibility that some of them will not be accepted by mozilla.
On the other hand, if you consider the relatively recent fiasco with Debian's SSH makes you wonder about the whole branding thing.
But they don't produce what they "sell", do they? Without the works of others (you know, the original creators of all those files being shared) the value of these services would be significantly less.

Oh my God! They killed Lenny!
