Currently, there is no specific strategy except leaning what makes up the size of the installer and what is the driver of the increased size each release. After we learn that and people know what is causing the increased size, we should do some more A/B testing to see if a larger or smaller download size has an impact on conversations. Regardless of the magnitude of the change, anything we learn is positive. Even if nothing is ever changed, learning and understanding is a positive experience. If we ever collectively decided to do something different, we would have to evaluate the cost/benefit of doing so and again test it.
So, for now, the strategy is learning. Whatever we learn will probably points us in the next direction.

It could be very bad for us if Dev Tools didn't "just work" for Web devs because they downloaded a non-developer build, when Dev Tools "just work" in Chrome and IE. On the topic of browser features implemented using HTML+JS: We should probably be more careful about importing JS libraries developed for Web use, because code paths for other browsers or legacy versions of Firefox are bloat in JS libs used inside Firefox.
