mochitest-chrome tests (mochitests running with chrome privileges) are now
running in automation for Android. On treeherder, you will see a new M(c)
job for Android 2.3 API9 opt, Android 4.3 API11+ opt, and Android 4.3
API11+ debug.

"mach mochitest -f chrome" is also supported:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android/Testing#mochitest-chrome.

There's some general info on mochitest-chrome at
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Chrome_test.

mochitest-chrome tests have run on desktop platforms for years, but this is
the first time we have run them on Android. Many legacy tests fail on
Android. To get a stable, green run quickly, I disabled all the tests in a
directory whenever I came across a failing test: Many more mochitest-chrome
tests pass on Android, but I am leaving it to others to sort out which ones
pass/fail and why.

The real value in mochitest-chrome for Android may be in new tests. I am
going to look into converting some of our all-javascript robocop tests to
mochitest-chrome -- see bug 1184186
