Firefox no longer needs xulrunner.

Interesting....

If I remove xulrunner-27.0-1.fc21, even firefox-27-0.1-2.fc21.x86_64 behaves badly.

I see these errors when running firefox without xulrunner when it "gets stuck".

WARNING: pipe error (146): Connection reset by peer: file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-27.0.1/mozilla-release/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 446
WARNING: pipe error (3): Connection reset by peer: file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-27.0.1/mozilla-release/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 446

If I reinstall xulrunner-27.0-1.fc21.x86_64 I no longer see these and firefox is back to its old self...
