It's actually pretty simple:
There are several links from /usr/lib/xulrunner to /usr/share/xulrunner,
and they are relative. So /usr/lib/xulrunner/res points to
../../share/xulrunner/res.
What happens is that the relative link works from the location of the
link. So, since /usr/lib/xulrunner/res is actually
/mnt/hda7/usr/lib/xulrunner/res, from there, ../../share/xulrunner/res
is /mnt/hda7/usr/share/xulrunner/res.
If it works in the shell, it's probably because of some corner cases. if
you just ls /usr/lib/xulrunner/res/ it should not work.
