I make enough bets on things I think I understand. For me, using an older
xulrunner would be classed as "pious hope".

/me neither, but if in doubt I tend to apply fixes - if we use the firefox
tarball for xulrunner, that is one download (45MB+) per build, and
guaranteed to contain the same source used in a standalone firefox.
