I'll figure out where that is.  cvs.mozilla.org wasn't being friendly
with me yesterday.

They aren't part of shipped binaries from what I can tell, but when
you go to ftp.mozilla.org and download e.g. the firefox-4.0.source.
tar.bz2 tarball, the sources for the tests are included.  There seems
to be at least some manner of distribution taking place for those
files.
