==Details==
* XULRunner as it is a separate application will allow extensions to run in their own process separate from FireFox. This will also keep the extension independent of any themes and other extensions.
* XULRunner is not a browser, but it can be used to ''make'' a browser.
* XULRunner will allow developers to create their applications using HTML, XHTML, SVG, or XUL.
* It will allow the use of web services(SOAP), cryptography, XPCOM, history implementation (but no UI that will have to be part of the XULRunner app) and more Gecko Features (see [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner:What_XULRunner_Provides HERE] for full list of Gecko Features.
* It will have a user interface for the management of XULApplications (installing, deploying, upgrading, and uninstalling)
*
* Planned to be used by FireFox 3 when it is released Q1 2007. This will be version 1.9 and will be the first ''production'' version of XULRunner.
