      <application>Xulrunner</application> is a runtime environment for XUL
      applications, and forms the major part of the
      <application>Mozilla</application> codebase. In particular, it provides

      The configuration of <application>Xulrunner</application> is accomplished
      by creating a <filename>mozconfig</filename> file containing the desired

      below. To see the entire list of available configuration options (and an
      abbreviated description of each one), issue <command>./configure
      --help</command>. You should review the entire file and comment or
      uncomment options as necessary.
