## APP-FILE

The app-file is a manifest, located at the root of the application and provides metadata that allows XULRunner to launch the application properly. It must be named **application.ini**. It is parsed as a INI style with \[Headings\] and Key=Value pairs. Lines beginning with ; or # are treated as comments. Its format is further described on *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL\_Application\_Packaging#application.ini*.

## APP-OPTIONS

Any option following the application.ini file path will be fed by XULRunner to the application. As such, these options are dependent on the application.

## ENVIRONMENT

*MOZILLA\_DISABLE\_PLUGINS* - when set, totally disables loading browser plugins (the ones that appear at the about:plugins url)
