Portable Firefox is free and open source. The onion router is free and open source. The package contains both.
The package only runs on Windows, but that's just because the binaries were compiled/assembled for Windows.
The mere fact that it runs on Windows (and even if it ONLY runs on Windows) doesn't disqualify it from being FOSS. The qualifications of FOSS do not specify what operating system it MUST run on.
