xulrunner can be thought of as a generic top-level application the behavior of which you control through javascript. your top level application can be anything, including a browser (e.g. mybrowser found at http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/xulrunner/).
gecko-sdk lets you develop c++ xpcom plugins usable in either xulrunner apps, firefox, or your embedded app. you may find that there's really very little that you need to develop in c++. if you want to use xulrunner, you have to invert the problem (in relation to embedding); you put the specialized parts of your code in a xpcom component and use them from a top level javascript that controls the application logic and the browsing behavior.
