(IIRC, XULRunner is technically mozilla.dev.platform, but that's more 
active and this is dead enough that I doubt many would care.)

Try starting with `xulrunner application.ini -jsconsole` ? That will 
bring up the error console, and should be useful for diagnosing certain 
errors - in particular, if there was a problem with chrome registration, 
since failing that would have exactly the behaviour you mentioned.
