The upstream bug report suggests this is a bug in xulrunner's packaging
(which is why stock Firefox isn't affected, they don't use a separate
xulrunner).

You can fix it with the following (as root):

cd /usr/lib64/xulrunner-2
cp omni.jar omni.jar.backup
zip -d omni.jar components/OpenWebapps.js
components/OpenWebapps.manifest
jsloader/resource/gre/components/OpenWebapps.js
