Unwanted (I think) xulrunner files
I have found on my system a bunch of stuff that seems to belong to the old xulrunner package. There is a /usr/lib/xulrunner directory containing various libraries and also a /usr/include/xulrunner directory. None of these are in the current Firefox footprint. FF now seems to come with its own libxul.so in /usr/lib/firefox. As the separate xulrunner package no longer exists, I can't use prt-get to remove these. Is it safe to just delete them? --

Yes it should be safe to remove. This tool is somewhat handy to keep track of untracked files: https://crux.ster.zone/ports/romster/pkg-not/Pkgfile Just use caution and common sense - dont go and delete your custom configs just because it might get listed by pkg-not :) /f

use the plain pkgutils programs, e.g. pkginfo -i | grep xulrunner to see if xulrunner is listed the pkgdb in /var/lib/pkg/db, and pkgrm xulrunner to remove it. Greetings Juergen
