Hello Friend,

its a Java SWT application using XulRunner to create the Browser object, 
setting the xulrunner properties (i.e. org.eclipse.swt.browser.XulRunnerPath), 
and using a few browser configurations like TLS 1.2 only and others 
configurations for security.

The project itself is not open source, but the application is using 
Browser(SWT.Mozilla) constructor, setting the XulRunnerPath and 
MOZ_PROFILE_PATH to instantiate the browser using mainly the browser prefs.js 
and omni.ja

The main project has been around for a long time, we are now testing for 
business and technologies upgrade.

I hope I answered right :D

Hello Myk Melez,

First of all, thank you for your response!

I'll talk about the project, it's a kiosk-style browser, using 
XULRunner 24.0b10 32bit and SWT, the modifications we made were 
according to project needs and security requirements. All of this is 
in the testing phase, but the project is still evolving, the project 
is huge and XulRunner's share is small but of paramount importance.
If your project is a XUL app, then you should be able to compile Firefox 
with the modifications you made to XULRunner and then use Firefox in 
place of the XULRunner runtime to run the app via Firefox's --app 
command-line flag.


But from your description, I wonder if it's actually a native app that 
you're linking against libxul from the XULRunner SDK. Is that correct? 
And is your code open source and available for browsing online by any 
chance?

Hello Myk Melez,

First of all, thank you for your response!

I'll talk about the project, it's a kiosk-style browser, using XULRunner 
24.0b10 32bit and SWT, the modifications we made were according to project 
needs and security requirements. All of this is in the testing phase, but the 
project is still evolving, the project is huge and XulRunner's share is small 
but of paramount importance.

This project currently runs in various parts of the country (Brazil) and is 
used by thousands of people, XULRunner comes as an evolution idea, but we need 
to update the firefox engine so we can no longer use XulRunner :( 

I am looking for solutions to present to the customer.

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? 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?

`firefox --app application.ini` is not in an experimental phase of
development. It's exactly the same as what xulrunner used to be.
