http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968038 Bug ID: 968038 Summary: standalone XULRunner is obsolete, MozillaFirefox could obsolete with with identical call interface Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: 2015* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: astieger@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: wolfgang@rosenauer.org Found By: Community User Blocker: --- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/xulrunner/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/Deprecati...

Our versions: mozilla:Factory/xulrunner 38.6.0 openSUSE:Leap:42.1:Update/xulrunner 38.6.0 Except for the 38.6.1 ESR this software is discontinued as a separate package https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/38.6.1/releasenotes/ Reading https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Mozilla/XULRunner "Until version 41, XULRunner could be downloaded from ftp.mozilla.org. Firefox (from version 3) ships with a private XULRunner package, which can run any compatible XULRunner application using the -app switch: firefox -app application.ini is equivalent to xulrunner -app application.ini" Suggest that MozillaFirefox could obsolete and provide xulrunner, and in that package symlink/script /usr/bin/xulrunner to the firefox binary as indicated below. As usual, lack of upstream maintenance for any code in the distribution is a generic security concern. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
