(Keywords: regression)

The size of libxul increased for 3 out of 4 Android CPU architectures. This happened on August 20th. For x86 and x86_64 this was 10 MB. For ARM 64 (aarch64) it was 3 MB. For ARM 32 (armv7) there was no increase.

The increase is large enough that the ziped apk shows the difference.

I'd be surprised if it was my change for bug 1726410. That was an update to mp4parse-rust, but it didn't seem to change the dependencies and though there were some (rather small) test files moved around, nothing was added.

The patch in bug 1726544 looks like it might fix this.

GVE is back down to 64M. Expect that the next build of fenix with an updated GV should bring the size back down.
