I ran into a problem just yesterday: I wanted to run mochitest-browser locally, to debug an error that happened very early in the test run startup.

So I did:

  mach mochitest-browser --debugger=gdb

and hit my breakpoint and so forth... then quit the debugger.

Then the test harness respawned another debugger to run more tests. And then another.

When run outside the debugger, I couldn't get the test harness to stop at all (e.g. via hitting Ctrl-C a bunch of times).

The only way I found to stop it was to kill the mach process itself. That left ssltunnel and various other processes still hanging out that had to be killed one by one so I could try running the tests again.

Having some reliable way to kill a mochitest-browser run would be really helpful.
