It may be a violation of the right-to-use licence for the "Pale Moon" trademark, but that is as far as I know not a restriction that you can really have with MPLv2.0 code. If you ship the browser without the trademarked materials such as the name and logo, I don't believe you have violated the copyright licence they advertise on their code -- even if it's not the way they would prefer you to ship the software.
