Details

Running the selenium tests creates a bunch of browser windows which steal focus while you're trying to work. One solution would be add an option to run them headless using Xvfb or something similar (maybe Xvfb inside a docker container if Xvfb on mac is a difficult proposition.) We'd still want to be able to run them normally to make debugging failing tests easier.

We run gecko tests through Xvfb on pretty minimal aws instances (or we did the last time I looked at gecko tests ;) so this should be doable.

Having this would make the "run all mozreview tests" mach command much more useful.

This bug was supposed to be about finding a way of running the selenium tests without creating browser windows, not skipping them altogether. I've duped this to Bug 1205628 to track doing that work.
