Firefox XML User Interface Language Format | Mozilla | Web Files |
The .XUL file extension is associated with XUL (XML User Interface Language). It is a programming language designed by Mozilla to build cross platform user interfaces for web-based applications. .XUL files contain code written in XML, JavaScript and CSS which enable it to create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs).
Structure of.XUL Files
The structure of .XUL files is based on XML and is similar to HTML tags. The root element within an XUL file defines the type of document it is. For example, the browser
tag might be the root element of an application that is a web browser. Other elements are then nested within this tag like
, which defines the tab of the browser window. The JavaScript code that handles tasks within the GUI of XUL files are embedded within the HTML-like tags and can be triggered by user actions. CSS code is used to set up the look and feel of a XUL application.
Uses and Similar File Types
.XUL files are used to develop applications that works as web browser, mail client, media player or any other software that needs interactive GUI. The range of software that can be built with XUL technology is diverse, making it suitable for enterprise as well as consumer level applications. It provides the developers a powerful platform to design feature rich applications with an intuitive interface. Similar file types include .ZUL, .XBL and .HTM.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XUL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .XUL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .XUL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .XUL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .XUL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XUL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XUL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .XUL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XUL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .XUL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
