They're charging to install it on something that they then distribute. The distribution contains Firefox.

Installing it on a computer somebody already owns isn't distribution, you can charge for hours there, but installing it on something in the factory is different.

If the problem is the binaries being installed and shipped, that can be easily circumvented by dell installing a downloader stub that simply downloads and installs Firefox for the customer when the computer is first started. The charge would be for the setup of that automatic installer process.

Nope, you're still distributing, just in a more elaborate way to try and evade the trademark agreement, which courts don't look too kindly on.
