Does anyone know or could any of you create a breakdown of the major blocks of the Firefox installer and each of their respective sizes or percentage of the whole?
For example, the win32 installer for Firefox 32 is 34MB. The Firefox Growth team [1] like to know of that 34MB, what is the percentage or size of each of the components within the 34MB. As for the granularity of the breakdown, it would be by some logic way of breaking down Firefox. For example, SpiderMonkey, tools, XUL, etc. I'll leave the granularity up to you on what you consider a logic block to quantify together. Why am I asking this? The win32 Firefox full installer continues to grow (see attachment) each release and it has been on an increasing growth since Firefox 29. Like anything on the web, the time it takes to download something (webpage, binary file, etc.) affects the key conversion rate by some amount. The Firefox Growth team has a project to understand what features/changes in Firefox are contributing to the growth or size of the installer. We've asked a few times previously, but it doesn't look like the documentation or analysis exist. Would anyone be able to take on this project as it would be very helpful to the team? I am imagining a pie chart of the the current installer and then a table of the name of each component, their size (KB or MB), and any additional meta data.
