Would adding index.xul to this help?

### DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written
HTML
### directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
###
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php index.php3
index.shtml index.cgi index.pl index.htm Default.htm default.htm
</IfModule>
