Yes, I was working in Silicon Valley for a company that was also using Mozilla technologies.

I remember the XULRunner meetups with them, in Mozilla HQ where the Moz people were basically saying:

- OK, our product is Firefox. We focus on fixing bugs that affect Firefox, so if the bug in XULRunner doesn't affect it you're on your own. Feel free to send a patch.

- Yeah we did that, the patch have been sitting in Bugzilla for 2 years

- ... shrug

Anyway even with full support of Mozilla they probably wouldn't have survived to iTunes+iPod, but clearly using a technology that the vendor has no interest in didn't help them.
