We ship data tables for converting from Unicode to HTML entities. These tables obviously take space. (They are not optimized for space usage, either.) As far as I can tell, these tables are not used at all in Fennec. In desktop Firefox, these data tables are used only for the MathML View Source feature.
Additionally, a subset of the tables is used by some XPCOM-based extensions, but those extensions seem to be obsolete or abandoned or don't seem to be using the feature for a very good reason. These data tables are not exposed to the Web Platform. In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1048191 I proposed removing this for mobile only, but how about we just remove this altogether in order to make both Fennec and desktop Firefox smaller? -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
