I'm more than halfway to an upload of xulrunner to experimental, but until I get iceweasel itself built, and xulrunner in an uploadable shape, you can download amd64 and i386 packages of xulrunner-1.9.1 from my p.d.o space. To get something that works, you only need libmozjs2d and xulrunner-1.9.1. Following are direct links to the relevant files:

• For amd64:
  • libmozjs2d_1.9.1-0_amd64.deb
  • xulrunner-1.9.1_1.9.1-0_amd64.deb
• For i386:
  • libmozjs2d_1.9.1-0_i386.deb
  • xulrunner-1.9.1_1.9.1-0_i386.deb

I only tested the amd64 binary, which doesn't have JIT javascript, so if you have particular problems with the i386 binaries, please report them in the comments. You can obviously leave comments for problems with the amd64 binaries, by the way.

Since iceweasel 3.5 is not ready yet, you may still want something to try this xulrunner out. You can try your own monster, for that purpose. The steps involved to create the monster are actually simple:

• Edit the /usr/lib/iceweasel/application.ini file and change the MaxVersion value in the [Gecko] section to 1.9.1
• Replace the /usr/lib/iceweasel/xulrunner symbolic link with a symbolic link to /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1 (ln -sfn ../xulrunner-1.9.1 /usr/lib/iceweasel/xulrunner)

With these changes, running iceweasel will start the monster.

If you still want to have iceweasel running the "normal" version, skip the second step above and start xulrunner-1.9.1 /usr/lib/iceweasel/application.ini instead.
