Note that by default cargo (the rust package manager that is used to
build parts of firefox) will use as many jobs as you have CPUs, so if
you have a large number of CPUs compared to memory this may cause OOM
failures.
I fixed this for rust itself in
https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/397302f904f7bb09c510c9deddb5f1e49434d568
but we may want to add that to the environment for any package which
uses rust.
This might not be the issue here, but it's worth pointing out.
