Running chatzilla on it’s own

I’m using irc quite often and most of the time I use the ChatZilla client for that. Normally chatzilla is an extension to Firefox (-ish browsers), but it can be quite annoying to have it tied up to your browser. Quitting the browser quits your irc-session.. Now I found the cure for it – XULRunner. It seems to work like a charm and it’s easy to setup.

I did these steps in cmd shell (yes in Windows XP) after downloading XULRunner and solo ChatZilla zip packages:

  1. C:\Program>cd xulrunner
  2. C:\Program\xulrunner>xulrunner.exe –register-global
  3. C:\Program\xulrunner>xulrunner –install-app c:\download\chatzilla-0.9.78.1-xr.zip
  4. C:\Program\xulrunner>xulrunner –install-app c:\download\chatzilla-0.9.78.1-xr.zip "c:\Program\Mozilla Firefox" chatzilla

By this it ends up in it’s own folder in the Firefox structure.
