We ship data tables for converting from Unicode to HTML entities. These tables obviously take space. (They are not optimized for space usage, either.) As far as I can tell, these tables are not used at all in Fennec. In desktop Firefox, these data tables are used only for the MathML View Source feature.
How much space do they actually take, roughly? What would source view for mathml look like if we removed nsIEntityConverter?
Additionally, a subset of the tables is used by some XPCOM-based extensions, but those extensions seem to be obsolete or abandoned or don't seem to be using the feature for a very good reason. These data tables are not exposed to the Web Platform. In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1048191 I proposed removing this for mobile only, but how about we just remove this altogether in order to make both Fennec and desktop Firefox smaller?
