Could you elaborate. What is xulrunner exactly?

The main advantage of xulrunner for source based distributions like gentoo is that building firefox (and other apps which are ported to xulrunner) is way faster than before, because they can use xulrunner as a shared runtime environment. This is more beneficial if you use many apps based on xulrunner. Before you needed the runtime environment for every single app. Now the source of firefox, thunderbird and sunbird is about three times the size of seamonkey which contains the same functionalities of the three apps. With the new xulrunner this will change and you save a lot of bandwith too. As for myself I have replaced the firefox use-flags with xulrunner, although it will take some time to gain benefit from this. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/GRE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XULRunner -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
