Hi Myk, Thanks for the response.
did you find any reference for legal requirements where it say that we can ship xulrunner application with its own copy of firefox. I hope you have notice this too because if we launch the application with .bat script using firefox then under the task manager the application reference goes as "Firefox". I am not sure if we can do anything with that part also. Appreciate any help or advise on this. manish On Tuesday, 12 September 2017 01:57:02 UTC+5:30, Myk Melez wrote: > > Manish <mailto:manishjhanwa...@gmail.com> > > 2017 September 6 at 05:32 > > > > Thanks Myk > > > > But I am bit confuse here.
