Hey,
I think that's a great idea. Having a more comprehensive test suite
would help with development. Testing every GUI change manually is quite
time consuming.
I did some brief experiments with dogtail to do GUI test on a Qt
application. Dogtail is a python library that uses A11y info embedded in
the forms to interact with widgets. I don't know whenever XUL exports
this information, though.
It may be possible to make the code in ui/content testable by
interacting with the DOM directly, like it's done on web applications
using Selenium.
Regards
Kai
