browser.xhtml currently pre-loads:

  • chrome://browser/content/downloads/downloads.css
  • chrome://browser/skin/downloads/downloads.css

These provide style to the downloads panel and the various downloads listings. Unless the user downloads a file or manually opens this UI during a session, this is code that will never be used. It might make sense to defer loading some or all of it until it first used.

The investigation in bug 1760893 showed marginal performance improvements from lazy-loading these stylesheets. It doesn't seem worth doing for that reason alone.
