Description Jacek Pospychala CLA 2009-10-12 10:53:49 EDT 
After switching to XULRunner 1.9.1 the most frequent issue is that users with XULRunner 1.8 can't make any use of ATF.
Let's try to relax the dependency on XULRunner 1.9.1 and provide at least basic functionality to those on older XULRunners and simple communication that would persuade them to actually update.

It turns out that I have XULRunner installed from two different sources, one from JBoss Tools, the other from ATF:

Id: org.jboss.tools.xulrunner, Version: 1.0.0.GA-N200908061545-H145
Id: org.jboss.tools.xulrunner.feature.feature.group, Version: 1.8.1.3-20070904
Id: org.jboss.tools.xulrunner.feature.feature.jar, Version: 1.8.1.3-20070904
Id: org.jboss.tools.xulrunner.initializer, Version: 1.0.0.GA-N200908061545-H145
Id: org.mozilla.xulrunner, Version: 1.9.1.0_v20090825-0940
Id: org.mozilla.xulrunner.feature.feature.group, Version: 1.9.1.0_v20090825-1855-57Z379OhF77g7cFR37gN7
Id: org.mozilla.xulrunner.feature.feature.jar, Version: 1.9.1.0_v20090825-1855-57Z379OhF77g7cFR37gN7
Id: org.mozilla.xulrunner.gtk.linux.x86, Version: 1.9.1.0_v20090825-0940
Id: org.mozilla.xulrunner.gtk.linux.x86_64, Version: 1.8.1.4-20080112

Apparently version 1.8.1.4, provided by JBoss tools is preferred to ATF provided one because it matches my machine architecture. I'll try uninstalling it and see if it helps.
