Oh, I forgot, in 1.9.1.6-2, too, is another new component, that is able
to dump addons information (plugins and extensions), and a reportbug
helper script that can be hooked in a reportbug script like the
following:

if [ -x /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/reportbug-helper-script ]; then
        /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/reportbug-helper-script $binary
fi

where $binary is the binary name of the xul application.

Iceweasel will start using this script in 3.5.6-2, that should be in the
archive in the next few days.

Again, this component should work in most XUL applications.

Cheers,

Mike
