Does Firefox depend on xulrunner? Should it?

Hi,

I just got a broken firefox after upgrading to ff28.

I've seen this before, ff complains that it cannot find XPCOM.

I solved it by upgrading manually xulrunner. I'd have thought this would mean that ff depends on xulrunner, doesn't it?

Cheers,
Charlie

No.

expac -Q '%D' firefox
gtk2  mozilla-common  libxt  startup-notification  mime-types  dbus-glib  alsa-lib  desktop-file-utils  hicolor-icon-theme  libvpx  libevent  nss  hunspell  sqlite

Did you do a full upgrade when firefox version was bumped?

Are you using firefox package from the official repos?
