Probably because the mozilla.org website is hosted in
the US. They're not allowed to export strong crypto
(mozilla-psm) . This is a big reason that Debian has
the 'non-us' apt repository in the Netherlands. And
OpenBSD is hosted in Canada. Just find a non-US
mirror and there's nothing illegal about it.
