That's the very reason why I want to run all the tests myself and

I feel that cooperation is needed and I do wish to cooperate. I can
convert my tests to HTML and test them in firefox 20.0 and take
screenshots.

And if there are problems with Indic rendering in Firefox, do you file detailed bugs about them (with testcases) in the Mozilla bug system[1] and/or the HarfBuzz tracker[2]?

Strangely enough, firefox works without any error with FreeFont but
gmail and facebook probably supply their own fonts. It worked fine
some time ago but now it does not, probably since firefox v.17 but I
do not know it exactly. If I want to have correct Devanagari in gmail
and facebook, I have to configure firefox to use locally installed
FreeFont only, not the fonts supplied by CSS. Gmail's CSS is
unreadable by human eyes so I cannot figure out what font is actually
used.

Or you could use the fontinfo add-on[3], which should (usually) be able to tell you exactly which font Firefox is using for any given piece of text on a web page.
