One ongoing goal of the Firefox for Android team is it to reduce the APK size (See meta bug "fatfennec": [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942609 bug 942609]). We just made the first steps to stop shipping everything in the APK and instead download assets the application needs at runtime. We started with fonts but we want to move much more content out of the APK (hyphenation dictionaries, translations, ..).

The goal of this ''Google Summer of Code'' project is it to remove '''hyphenation dictionaries''' from the APK and download them at runtime. The work previously done to exclude fonts acts as a blueprint and for your guidance.
