The other thing that may work is to cause ATF to launch the XULRunner browser
once which should set the property.

According to the SWT FAQ, the XULRunner
instance must also be "properly installed," which means executing
xulrunner.exe with, say, ---register-global. 

http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howusemozilla

Does ATF do this as well or is this
a manual step required by the user? If a required manual step, it would
be nice to find a way around it else having a xulrunner plug-in becomes
pointless - ie I might just as well use any XULRunner installation, right?
I know that there has been some talk of re-architecting all of this so
maybe I'm missing something. Also, apologies if this is a question that
would be more appropriate for the SWT team.
