Wow! Firefox 78 on OI !  :-D

Yes, it seems FF78 takes a little more RAM and uses more 
processes/Threads than FF68 (visual impression from top). I don't see 
much less performance (32GB RAM + 32GB swapvol).

As FF68 is EOL already i don't think we should package it. But this is 
just my personal opinion.
