I believe that Chrome's source is still quite a bit bigger than Firefox. Firefox 110 sources are 476MB in a `.tar.xz`[1] while Chromium was 555MB as of Chromium 59[2] and I assume has only grown since then (finding tarballs is…not easy as the instructions are all git-based).
The build mechanisms may also vastly differ. From my time with WebKit building, there is a *lot* of generated code (which I assume Chrome still has). I have no idea how much codegen Firefox does though.
