 Firefox-6.activity includes lots of libraries and directories that are
 already in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9 in 8.2-760.  Seems an opportunity to
 conserve disk (about 20MB) and memory. I think some distros build Firefox
 this way.  There are tradeoffs, e.g. with local files FF can evolve faster
 than the release.

 Another thing I noticed is the lib*.so files in the Firefox-6.activity are
 smaller than the ones in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.  Maybe the core build can
 use the same configuration that the Firefox activity uses.
