Nixos compiles Firefox out of nowhere? (feddit.de)

Basically the title. I have Nixos running on a server that runs completely headless and while playing around today, I noticed that the rebuild takes longer than expected and apparently that's because firefox gets compiled.

Now, I don't have any GUI installed, and even if I had, I don't see a reason to compile FF from source.

My packages are just Jellyfin, Samba, Gitea, Nextcloud, virt-manager. None of these should depend on FF.

Does firefox appear in your previous closure? nix-store --query --tree /run/current-system/ | grep firefox

I solved it using nix-tree, see the other comment.
