Wolfgang mentioned one option, another is to directly use Firefox as Firefox AFAIK can act just like XULRunner when the -app parameter is being passed.

[opensuse-factory-mozilla] deprecation of xulrunner packages
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 27 Jul '11

Hi, because xulrunner as a stable platform is basically dead with Mozilla's new rapid release cycle we more or less need to remove the packages from Factory. This includes: mozilla-xulrunner192 mozilla-xulrunner20 Version 2.0 is already out of upstream support while 1.9.2 will live for some more weeks (not exactly sure for how long). According to OBS the following packages are still depending on these: mozilla-xulrunner192: google-gadgets libgluezilla0 libreoffice libreoffice-bootstrap libreoffice-components libreoffice-libs-extern moonlight moonshine mozilla-xulrunner20: PackageKit bundle-lang-gnome-extras chmsee icedtea-web libproxy-plugins rhythmbox There are probably only JS engine consumers (libproxy-plugins?) which should have a replacement already in Factory with the js package? Then there are NPAPI only consumers I guess which just need some header files? What else do those packages need? That's important to me to find out what exactly we need to provide in Factory to be able to remove the full xulrunner packages. Also if some package is missing in the above list for whatever reason, please let me know.
