XULRunner was removed from the package repositories for Ubuntu some time ago. Find a way to build from source during the installation process or migrate to WebKit.

My vote goes for webkit

Agreed. We only specify to use the default browser component on OS X and Linux, which is WebKit on OS X and XULRunner on Linux when creating HTML Tabs. The SWT FAQ specifies the version of libwebkitgtk or XUL required to make the browser component work; maybe we can add libwebkitgtk as an installation dependency for the Linux installer.

I don't have a test machine/VM for this right now though.

Maybe an issue to create a vagrant Ubuntu VM?

Herp derp. That would make sense. :)
