I didn't fix anything...  I did notice that xulrunner3 installs a lot of
programs that Firefox doesn't (67 programs under $out/bin in fact).

BTW, what's the point of the "firefox3Xul" attribute in all-package.nix?  It
just symlinks xulrunner and firefox together.  If I want them together I can
just install both of them with nix-env.
