Suggestions for running Mochitests on Thunderbird

I am currently making some initial investigations into running
mochitests on Thunderbird.

I'm not too worried if the core tests don't/won't run (e.g. they will
eventually be covered by xulrunner automated testing), but we really do
need mochitests for the MailNews specific items.

The main problem here, of course, is that we haven't got a browser
window when we start up.

I've tracked down one problem (not starting up at all) to the http url
on the command line, obviously we'll need that, or a way of handling it.

One thought I've had is to provide a test-only command line handler that
could handle '-test' or even the http url, which would then do something
special on starting TB - is it feasable to create a browser window somehow?

Any thoughts would be very much apprechiated.

Woo!

The --chrome mode for runtests.py might be what you want here, if
Thunderbird honours it.

(Not a performance topic, but trying to move this to dev.quality will
break the thread, I'm sure.)

I've just done a new post in dev.quality, probably not right, but at
least it should get the right attention.
