Sorry. I did not realize that Chris had answered my question in his
email.
It would be better to bundle the newer version of xulrunner inside
your program, if you need it, although that would waste some disk
space.
I think this it the direction we will take.
Thank you all very much!

Thank you all for your very useful input. From the information
provided, it appears that upgrading to version 8.0 is fraught with
risk.
Would there be any issues if we install a second copy of XULRunner on
the OLPC computer?
For the tests that I described that I did, I installed a second copy
of XULRunner on the same OLPC computer. I called my application by
pointing to this second path rather than the default XULRunner.
Would there be any concerns about having two versions of XULRunner on
the same OLPC computer?

In particular, we are having issues with XULRunner 1.9.1.9. We are
considering unstalling this version and replacing it with XULRunner
8.0.
We have no policies against what people in OLPC deployments do with
software, so the question is just whether the upgrade does what you
want
it to. I don't know anything about upgrading to 8.0, so I don't
think I
can help with working out whether that's a wise idea.
(I don't think I know you -- do you want to tell us about which
deployment you're involved with?)
