By doing this, you're basically guaranteeing that Firefox can never participate in the code signing model.

Firefox download partial updates right now, including binary code. It kicks off the updater once the download is done and updates itself. This prevents Firefox from participating in the code signing model so compression would not be much different.

wrong, partial update do not prevents codesign. Especially as the partial update can contains the updated code signature. http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Security/Conceptual/Cod...

What are the huge benefits to participating in code signing?

Maybe you don't care right now, but then again, maybe one day you'll want to use the Keychain APIs.

Is code signing a must to use the Keychain APIs? Can you please clarify?
