Comment(by fgdrf):

 Good news:
 I managed to get xulrunner 1.9.2.x installed (from the mozilla ftp
 server):

 {{{
 cd /opt
 sudo wget -0-
 https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.19/runtimes/xulrunner-1.9.2.19
 .en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 | sudo tar xj
 sudo ln -s /opt/xulrunner/xulrunner /usr/bin/xulrunner
 sudo ln -s /opt/xulrunner/xpcshell /usr/bin/xpcshell
 }}}

 in addition to get uDig (much more precise Eclipse) working its required
 to add a runtime property in `/usr/lib/udig/udig_internal.ini` at the end:

 {{{
 -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/opt/xulrunner
 }}}

 The webview in uDig works '''but''' for the given URL
 ([udig.refractions.net/confluence]) is temporary not available :(

 possible workaround:
 * update uDig quickstart to avoid  using web view and reference to a
 locally running WMS/WFS service
