In message <[e-mail]>, it was brought up to
remove res/samples and res/throbber to make the download size smaller.  This
received some support so I am filing an enhancement for it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a Mozilla distributution.
Actual Results:  
res/samples and res/throbber appear in the installation directory.

Expected Results:  
Don't include these in the distributions.

In the case of the samples, some of them seem broken anyway.

Too bad my Bugzilla searches keep dying or I would have found those.  I guess
this will be a tracker, hopefully there isn't already a tracker.

we don't need a tracker to track these two bugs.

only reopen if you can explain the benefit to mozilla developers of tracking
these bugs... I agree that they don't need to be in the installer packages, but
the samples serve a purpose - mozilla binaries are supposed to be for testing
the development work, not for end users.
