Hello, "firefox-with-plugins" is not a new version of firefox, it is a wrapper around an existing version of firefox that enable some plugins. Building firefox-with-plugins does not require the compilation of firefox: it just takes a firefox and some plugins and create a firefox executable that uses those plugins.
It is defined in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix#L10614 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/firefox/wrapper.nix (not easy to find, because the string "firefox-with-plugins" never appears). The main use case is for non-free plugins like flash, so firefox-with-plugins is not built by the build servers.
