I am able to execute some pieces of a XULRunner-based app fine with B2G. I simply took B2G work binary that Romaxa did for the Raspberry PI. Do you need XUL widgets or you just want to call your Chrome URL from B2G Gecko app? m On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 1:06 PM, Emmanuel Engelhart wrote: > Le 08/0

I assume all this data/reasoning will be posted in the bug. People just didn't get around to it yet. The idea was to use the bug to discuss the issue. There is definitely no decision yet to ship, just a decision to take a look at some additional data point someone raised. Andreas Sent from Mobile
