How to completely remove XULRunner 7 Mac OS X

There is a stream here:

How to install and run the XulRunner app on Mac OS X?

... in which the user mentions that there is a problem removing XULRunner 7 so that he can install XULRunner 6. Unfortunately, he just says that he understood it, but does not say how to do it. It seems like I can’t send private messages or send this user’s email (CIRK).

So, does anyone know how to remove it, or at least force OS X to allow the installation of XULRunner 6?

As a note, deleting the /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework directory does not work.

Thanks in advance.

Answering my question in a day ...

It seems that the XULRunner 7 installer not only adds files to the / Library / Frameworks folder, but also adds to / private

In particular, I had to manually delete ...

/private/var/db/receipts/org.mozilla.xulrunner.bom /private/var/db/receipts/org.mozilla.xulrunner.plist

... along with deleting the /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework folder.

Hope this will be helpful to someone else.

edit: This is especially true for OSX 10.6.7, reportedly for working with 10.7.2, and also

On Mac OS X 10.5.8 there is nothing under / private / ... but there is a folder / Library / Receipts / xulrunner - *. Mac.pkg that also needs to be deleted.
