Brilliant! I thought they had dropped the idea of using xulrunner.

My other question is this, can't we do a big community thing =E0 la Bug=20 Day where we make sure that all the apps that currently have=20 firefox/seamonkey/xulrunner use flags all build against xulrunner 1.9=20 and drop all other keywords for the sake of simplicity?
