Size is not the main problem i think.

Time used to check extensions at first launch is another.

Extension list is also quite big.

What will occur when we also have the dictionnaries ? (more than 40 new
extensions).

What will occur if we install "enigmail", thunderbird extension, (i'm
working on an RPM for this that i will submit for Extras). This package
should follow the Fedora usage and come with more than 20 language packs.

And probably other extensions...

Yes, it's seems reasonnable to me

The "target" could be

- firefox
- firefox-devel
- firefox-<extension>
- firefox-langpack-<xx> with dictionnaries, langpack for firefox and
extensions
