uninstalling xulrunner 1.9 seems to have fixed this issue for me

For some reason, I had both xulrunner 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 installed. When I completely removed 1.9.1, removed my workspace directory, and removed my .eclipse directory it fixed the issue for me. (Many thanks for the xulrunner tip, Martijn.)
