Ah, thanks for the clarification! But now I'm confused; in what sense is
it open source software if during runtime it starts downloading and
running binary blobs from Adobe? :/

You read incorrectly, here is the relevant part from [1]:

So, not that different from the situation with Flash which has annoyed
us for ages.
Can I trust that
Iceweasel will remain open source, or will I have to switch to Lynx if
I want to use an open source browser? :)
Iceweasel will remain open source. So will Firefox, or its developers
will leave in masses I presume.
Cheers,
