Yes, of course. We plan to do testing, and would like to be as
exhaustive as possible-thus the original email.
A decision to consider an upgrade was only made today after realizing
the that OLPC project will stop using XULRunner and move into Webkit.
The purspose of the email I sent was to quickly identify other
dependencies that we will need to add to our tests.
Thank you for pointing out the use of Totem and Gnash plugins. These
are the kinds of scenarios we are trying to incorporate into our tests.

That's an extremely dangerous thing to presume. I "presume" that
you're
actually going to test the browser extensively after performing the
upgrade to ensure that the upgrade doesn't break the browser.
Are there
any other dependencies that we should concern ourselves
with(assuming
that it is not against OLPC policies to perform the upgrade)?
The other activities that use Xulrunner (e.g. Wikipedia) are all very
similar to Browse, so the upgrade is unlikely to cause problems in
one but
not another.
As for dependencies of the browser, you should check that you have
not
caused a regression in plugin support, especially as relates to the
Totem
and Gnash plugins.
