The Pale Moon web browser would be my first guess.

https://www.palemoon.org/

Related to that project are the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), and
another (less mature) web browser project, Basilisk.
http://www.basilisk-browser.org/

(There may be other XUL browser/application forks around too;
these are just the ones I'm familiar with.)

Pale Moon is certainly actively supported, so if MozRepl works
with that (or any of the above) then I would expect it to remain
relevant for quite a long time.
