On the flip side there are specific tests in Firefox that we will want to exclude from Fennec.   
On the flip side there are specific tests in Firefox that we will want to exclude from Fennec.  For example:
* rss feeds (not supported for Fennec at the moment)
* browser-chrome and some chrome tests (chrome elements are different)
* private browsing (not supported for Fennec at the moment)
 
These excluded tests are tracked in {{bug|464081}}.  We still need consensus on the proper way to remove these tests from Fennec.  The most logical way is in the makefiles based off #IFDEF's.  Alternatively we can do this inside of the test as well.

To run the unit tests, we need to have a build of Fennec and a build of the test bits (do this by adding "ac_add_options --enable-tests" to your mozconfig).  Once you have the tests and Fennec binaries, we also need:
* Python (preferably 2.5) - and these modules:
** subprocess: Popen (wait, stdout.readline), PIPE, STDOUT
** os.path:  normpath, expanduser, join, exists, dirname, basename, abspath, realpath, splitext
** os: chdir, getcwd, remove, kill, mkdir, listdir, unlink
** shutil: rmdir, rmtree, copytree
** tempfile: mkdtemp()
** file: open, read, write, close
