about:addons can be run either in a tab, or in a standalone window.

We run tests for both of these states and it's a burden to maintain. Firefox does not use this, I am not sure about other apps but I don't think there's a reason they could not run in a tabbed browser window instead.

Let's remove tests and any supporting code for the standalone window UI.

Please don't forget to remove strings if they're not used anywhere else.

Thanks! Looks like there are a few for the tooltips on the back/forward buttons - I'll make sure those aren't used elsewhere and remove them if not.
It's actually turning out to be a little more complex than I'd hoped to remove everything. I am hitting some test failures that are difficult to debug due to the callback depth (12 levels deep in some places!) so I am going to land the basic test removal now to unblock the Screenshots bug 1355998 and do the larger code+strings+remaining tests after.

why is this getting removed?

So. It turns out that `is_hidden` in head.js happens to force a layout flush, which is necessary for one of the later tests which looks at the DOM and tries to pick out the right addon by the element value.

Since we've removed the call to `is_hidden` I've made the layout flush explicit which gets this test passing.
