Details

STR: 1. Unzip xulrunner 1.8.0.* somewhere. 2. run sudo xulrunner/xulrunner --register-global 3. Unzip xulrunner trunk on top of the old xulrunner 4. run sudo xulrunner/xulrunner --register-global AR: Warning: Configuration file '/etc/gre.d/1.8.0.X.conf' already exists. No action was performed. ER: XULRunner should read the old configuration file, realize that it points to the same path, and remove it or rename it so it reflects the new version of xulrunner, and/or otherwise update the registration.
Workaround: rm the global.reginfo file in the xulrunner directory (and possibly hand-remove the existing .conf file in /etc/gre.d/ )
XR registration is gone
