Mozilla refused a lot of patches from SongBird devs, though some have been
merged.
Using a vanilla xulrunner for songbird will create problems for the packager (
linux support is very limited upstream if not dead completeley ), since
upstream will request reproducing the bug with their binaries, which can't be
for sure for the mentioned reason.
