I noticed the same thing, and took the same steps toward resolution.
xulrunner/xulrunner-devel apparently wasn't a dependency for any
software that I use and was installed when I selected the
"Development/Libraries" group at install time.
The current xulrunner-devel (1.9.2.4-9.el5) actually has 46 dependencies
(91 on x86_64). The previous version (1.9.0.19-1.el5_5) had 28.
[root@mail ~]# yum deplist xulrunner-devel-1.9.2.4-9.el5 | grep
dependency: | wc -l
91
