Legally speaking, if you're using someone else's trademark to sell your product, then you are violating trademark law. That is only if your product is different from the trademark product.
If your product is the same, then you may be violating copyright laws. But that's not the case with FF anyway. So you are a distributor/reseller of the product and resellers have their margins.
Personally, I think selling FF for $10 on CDs is a great idea. Private enterprise can increase the adoption of FF (and other open source software) and they should be adequately compensated for that. Remember, they may be selling to your grandma who probably will never even hear about FF otherwise. There is effort involved in burning software to a CD and seeking out grandmothers to sell it to (and making their online experience more secure).
