[Bug 761929] Re: Please remove conkeror binary and sources

[John Foerch]

My understanding of the issue is as follows.  Tell me if I have it wrong.
Ubuntu is going to provide an up-to-date Firefox (or Iceweasel?) but not
an up-to-date XULRunner.  Since Mozilla won't be backporting bugfixes to
XULRunner under their new release cycle, this in theory exposes some
security risks in any XULRunner app which allows browsing of untrusted
content.  But if Firefox is kept up-to-date, then launching Conkeror with
'firefox -app' instead of XULRunner would sidestep the problem of any
unpatched security holes in XULRunner.  Note, I haven't tried this myself
yet; I'm just putting it out there as an open question.
