Details

in trying to bisect a leak on try, I get so many failures and the root cause is other tests which depend on support files from another directory.

I found that we list the support files only related to the tests which need them (sounds reasonable to me), but then in another directory a test will depend on one of those support files and it doesn't exist anymore.

A simple solution is putting all the support files at the top (default) for the manifest.  Possibly there is a better solution.
3 files that we need to ensure exist:
trackingprotection.html
readermodearticle.html
test_offline_gzip.html
Severity: normal → S3
