The reason the stub is important is because of Windows jumplists. Even if you use a resource editor to change all of the internals of the Firefox executable, if Firefox is installed on that machine, you'll end up with "Firefox" and the firefox logo on the jump list and when you select "Firefox" it will try to start Firefox using the loaded instance. So you'll get a profile manager XUL error if you've removed all the Firefox cruft. We need a stub executable to make sure this never happens.
