Why do you think so?

$ rpm2cpio MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream-68.0.1-1.13.x86_64.rpm | cpio -t
./usr/lib64/firefox
1 block

Archive is correct. Single empty directory is in it.

The 132k is filled by huge packet changelog:

$ rpm -qp --changelog MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream-68.0.1-1.13.x86_64.rpm | wc -c
129549
