Firefox doesn't ship NodeJS itself, it comes with its own Javascript engine, so we wouldn't be shipping NodeJS twice. NetBSD has already prepared a patch to address this issue. If I understand the NetBSD developer correctly whom I talked to, there is apparently currently just one Javascript file for which NodeJS is actually used during the build. Adrian -- .''`.
