[LDTP-Dev] [RFC]Firefox test scripts for review

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hi Poornima,

Generic I meant, because the test doesn't have any report at end, like how
any unit test framework does. Consider creating screenshot incase of test
failure. If everything goes fine, the test will not quit Firefox, I think.

Still some of the window names or object names have hard coded text, they
are not reused from common variables.

Thanks
Nagappan
