I guess if you supply -app then you start XULRunner. Just like if you 
supply -chromebug you start Chromebug. I don't know any particular

I guess your problem is that the platform removed the ability to use 
jsd.initAtStartup, and perhaps the fixes for this change do not apply 
somehow to XULRunner. You can try
