think it's because they are switching over to xulrunner firefox-devel can
use xulrunner if you want but it's a bit tricky still. I know that they were
waiting for a fully working xulrunner port. xulrunner right now can not be
used for plugins among other things from what I was told when I tried so I
switched back over to the normal gecko stuff.
