XULRunner is a free platform for running components for Firefox and Thunderbird, designed for XUL XPCOM application developers and, in fact, is an analogue of COM from Microsoft. XULRunner helps you get rid of a huge number of conditional compilation directives when creating Gecko applications. This environment has also been used to create several "stand-alone" programs: Songbird, Miro and MusicBee players, Instantbird IM client, Conkeror's full-fledged web browser, eMusic Remote digital music purchase tools and a number of other projects. Some programs use XULRunner technology to implement network access modules. Thanks to the libxul solution, which is part of the platform, independent developers can "integrate" some of Mozilla's technologies into their own products.

Initially, XULRunner was "ground" for the creation of various toolbars and other auxiliary components for Mozilla software. XULRunner itself does not have a graphical shell. The successful launch of the platform will be indicated by a window with a list of basic options and commands.

XULRunner simplifies the development process for Gecko applications by eliminating numerous conditional compilation directives.

This application allows you to create a variety of application and adds ons in a simple manner that would require a much more complicated tool otherwise. The simplicity with which this tool can be utilised is beneficial for both the full time user and even those with less practice.

This product seems like it can do a large amount of tasks that would otherwise require a lot of time, knowledge, and various tools to do.

From what I'm seeing, XUL Runner for Windows is a product that is used to help run specific programs within Microsoft that require larger, and more complicated directions. I believe that would be very useful, as it will help with not slowing your system down because of using bigger application that people would have that is not necessarily good on the Microsoft System. I myself have not particularly used this program before, and I don't belive that I would because the product is discontinued, but I feel it would have been helpful when I download particular applications that would require more room and RAM that would eventually slow my compute down and cause other sorts of issues. Can't make a good determination whether it would work good or not since it is not longer here. The world will never know now.
