I'd like to reduce download size. And I don't need XUL. I want
to get html only render, without extensions like address bar or
any other XUL widgets. So I want to remove as many as possible.

I don't want to remove js or XMLRequestHTTP. Supporting standards
Is a power of gecko so I don't want to loose it.

Now I get GRE set of dlls from firefox-3.1b2pre.en-US.win32.installer
As I can see minimum GRE is about 15mb, and where xul.dll is about 10Mb.

Can you be specific about why you want a smaller dll? Is the actual goal to
reduce runtime memory usage (a smaller DLL won't really help at all), reduce
download footprint (compression makes us <5MB) or something else?

Since this comes up regularly and has for years, I wrote an essay about why,
in general, adding lots of options to reduce size is a bad idea:
