Description

[Brant Gurganus]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)
Gecko/20020416
BuildID:    2002041603

The Mozilla binaries could be better compressed.  I compressed the files to
nearly half original size with no known side effects yet.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download current mozilla build.
2. View executable sizes.

Actual Results:  Executables are bigger than necessary.

Expected Results:  Compress using UPX or comparable.

The specific command line options I used were:
--best --backup

Version was:
upx 1.20
NRV data compression library 0.82
