XULRunner is a product in development which will serve as a runtime environment for XUL applications. It replaced or renamed the Gecko Runtime Environment. All XUL-based applications like Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Democracy Player and Songbird will be able to run on XULRunner. It will provide mechanisms for installing, deploying, upgrading, and uninstalling these applications.

The first stable developer preview of XULRunner was released in February 2006.

XULRunner 1.9 will be the first production release of XULRunner, and will be used and shipped by Firefox 3 (Q4 2007). The full planned featureset of XULRunner including application management and embedding APIs will be available in this release.
