I wouldn't assume this, given that the web runtime was deprioritized by 
the organization three years ago.

SlimerJS <http://slimerjs.org/> also depends on being able to use a 
Firefox installation in this way. And presumably there are others. So 
it's worth clarifying whether Benjamin's proposal to remove the 
XULRunner code from the repository would affect these use cases.
