			One exception are reftests: Mulet reftests run in a different environment than regular reftests. The mulet reftest window has chrome://b2g/content/shell.html as its root document and uses a gaia profile that contains the reftest extension. The Marionette test runner injects a script in the gaia environment that loads the reftest harness, which injects a (non-remote) xul:browser into shell.html.
			The easiest way to run Mulet reftests locally is by using docker and executing the "Run locally" script from a taskcluster "Inspect task" page of a Mulet reftest job that has run on treeherder. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233206#c1 bug 1233206] for more information.

			=== What is mulet for a gecko developer? ===

			Mulet is a Firefox desktop build, with MOZ_B2G env variable set to 1.
			This variable enables most of the b2g specifics that are built only on FxOS (and not on Fx Desktop).
			It is also built with MOZ_MULET=1 in order to help distinguish Firefox Desktop from Mulet.
			A dedicated folder exists for mulet in mozilla-central, [http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/b2g/dev/ m-c/b2g/dev], which contains mostly build/configuration files.
