If Firefox integrated a pirate site as one of the main sources of content (like you did with Freda) then there would be good reason to go after Mozilla.
A couple different people have confirmed that Flibusta is a pirate site. A third pointed out that the name probably comes from flibustier, the French word for pirate.
I think it best to remove the link.
