Hello guys,
I do not know if this serious or the right group to do this ask, but I
will try here rss
Xulrunner no longer has updates, where do I find information or
documentation from a substitute for it?
Hi Rodolpho,
There isn't currently an exact substitute for XULRunner. The closest
alternative is to use a Firefox installation to run a XULRunner app by
invoking the Firefox executable with the --app command-line flag and a
path to the XULRunner app's application.ini file:
path/to/firefox --app path/to/application.ini
I've also been experimenting with alternative Gecko-based runtimes for
desktop apps, including Positron <https://github.com/mozilla/positron>,
which is designed to be Electron-compatible, and a more minimal runtime
that provides existing Mozilla APIs along with tools for
running/packaging apps.
However, both of those projects are still in an experimental phase of
development, so they aren't necessarily suitable for general use.
I am currently researching information about Gecko and Firefox to set
up an embeddable browser to replace what I did with Xulrunner, but I
find little information, can anyone give me a light on this?
Can you describe your embeddable browser project in more detail? I'd
like to learn more about how you're thinking of using Gecko, and I may
also be able to give better advice once I understand your use case better.
