Changelog for iceweasel 30.0-1 [1] states that iceweasel is no longer
an xulrunner application, so probably kiwix should also consider to
move out of xulrunner? But again this is my question I'm not sure
about effort involved. Below is line taken from changelog.

"

  * xulrunner/moz.build, xulrunner/installer/*.pc.in, xulrunner/confvars.sh,
    xulrunner/app/xulrunner.js, netwerk/test/unit/test_socks.js,
    webapprt/gtk2/webapprt.cpp, configure.in,
    xpcom/glue/standalone/nsXPCOMGlue.cpp: Revert changes that are
    irrelevant now that Iceweasel is not a xulrunner application.
"
