  looks like your distro may have decided to bundle every single dependency
• 23:05
  tomman
  or the package has debug symbols
• 23:05
  dennisn
  nope, it's the individual package ... the source code i'm guessing (gentoo)
• 23:05
  dennisn
  firefox is way bigger with all it's dependencies
• 23:05
  dennisn
  i think, not sure
• 23:06
  dennisn
  i think it's just that one source.tar.xz file
• 23:08
  dennisn
  archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/99.0b8/source
• 23:08
  dennisn
  weird, seamonkey basically has the same source file url
• 23:09
