After a little more digging I found that xulrunner was not the problem.
But the mesa drivers on my machine.

But I do think that it is a little odd that xulrunner was extracted out
of the firefox/mozilla/epiphany packages so that you could use it as a
base for other applications and yet you cannot have the x86_64 and i386
versions of it installed so that if you have an app that you can't
compile it can still use the common libs.

Maybe we need a xulrunner-libs (where you can have the x86_64 and i386
packages installed in parallel) and xulrunner (only one) packages?
