The latest stable version should be in the xulrunner port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36908#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Every update was painful to fix and file bugs about. If you want newer versions of xulrunner, you're going to need to step up to maintain it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36908#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

They just never really supported it in the first place. Almost all of their developers assume darwin == cocoa, and I gave up filing tons of bug reports with every new release. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36908#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

As they are pushing their "Open Web Apps" Platform that can do local app installation. So it seems that their momentum on the framework it's getting lost so the reason to keep supporting the package is not necessary. Thank you for your replies have a nice day. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36908#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
