1081624 - Add test coverage for autocomplete item height consistency

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P5)

Description

Bug 1073243 fixed a regression for autocomplete item height consistency, but didn't land with a test. We really need one - autocomplete UI has very little test coverage currently, and is generally fragile and prone to regressions.

Basic idea here is to add a test under browser/base/content/test/general that tried various queries in the URL bar in order to get different types of results, and measures the height of every richlistresult it sees, and ensures they're all the same.

The following test would be a good starting point/example for interacting with the URL bar and autocomplete results:

We are no more interested in having all the entries same height, the layout is now a lot more flexible, so this kind of test doesn't have a huge value. Unlikely to be worked on.
