I compiled Firefox from source(so I can use it on an Alsa-only Linux system) but it takes at least 15 GB, is they a way to reduce the space it takes?

There is an article in the Mozilla Developer Network that can direct you to the right people: see the Get Help section of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../Mozilla_build_FAQ

I hope that helps.
