This debug code provides useful error information to the developers when the app crashes or they terminate it, etc. Developer's generally don't care if the app runs slow while they're debugging it and in good software, that debug info is removed prior to release to the public. Once it's removed it will most likely reduce the executable size by quite a bit, and should speed up execution as well.
Please don't take this as a flame. I'm a developer myself, and just thought I'd come to the defense of the Fennec devs and provide a bit of insight to those that may not be familiar with the development cycle of a program, and friendly reminder to those that are ![Wink](http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
