If you're not running any Mozilla-based apps (e.g., Fennec), you can uninstall XULRunner with no consequences.

Thanks, removed it. Added it to my reasons for disliking Fennec.

For future reference: usually if a package is still needed you cannot uninstall it

another option is to highlight it, hit the i icon and look at the right-most tab, as it will list any reasons for refusing to remove a package...
I don't remember where it came from and it's big (27MB).
I'm suspecting it came with Fennec - that I deleted after trying it out.
Is there anyway, in general, to tell what applications may rely on something like this?
I'd love to have those 27MBs back
