[QA] A browser test challenge

Fri Oct 11 16:28:01 UTC 2013

Just so people know which repos I am looking at :

I am going to start by looking at this one:
VisualEditor-test2.wikipedia.org-linux-firefox   which has been failing for
the past 6 days.    After that, I would like to look at Cirrus Search repo.

Thanks.
