sooner or later firefox will need MONEY!!! and probably sellout to some company that will try and make a bundle pack with email, browser and online service.
Barebone is good, you can choose what you want to take up cpu/mem: http://www.mozdev.org/projects/active.html

2 usefull pluggins:

It's an opensourceproject driven by enthusiasts for free, why would it _need_ money? Yeah, money never hurts and I bet they get quite some donations. For example, for the 1.0release adcampain there was alot of donations.

Certain companies are bundling it, read about some ISP just the other week that did just that. The firefoxcommunity welcomes that, it's good for their biz.
