View source for Setting up the application.ini File

XULRunner first looks at the application.ini file located at the root directory.  This file contains metadata which tells XULRunner how to run the application properly.  This file typically contains [Headings] and Key=Values pairs.  Also, any line which begin with characters "#" or ";" are treated as comments.

The application.ini file contains two sections.  They are the following with surrounding square brackets:


'''[App]''' Section - This section of the file contains data about the application
