Woah, the download size is 56MB for the OSX version! I'm curious to what accounts for the big size, is it assets or actual executable code?

It's a fat binary; it includes both 32-bit and 64-bit compiled code. Normally only the 64-bit code is used, but it can restart in 32-bit mode for compatibility with legacy plug-ins.

On my debian machine here, running ff beta the biggest part is libxul, which is 55 meg on its own.
