To allow us to split the Firefox ui tests across the tree on bug 1272145, we need a solution for wptserve and locally served test files. I don't see that we want to keep a single folder with test files under testing/firefox_ui/resources. Instead we could declare support_files via the manifest, and spin up a new server if needed. With that we might be able to remove the --server-root command line option. But I think we want to keep it to retain compatibility if only a single test needs to be executed for customers outside the tree. Andreas has some upcoming changes for wptserve on bug 1103196, which I might have to wait for.

Given that Marionette client and harness won't live that long anymore, I think it's totally fine to allow tests to put their resources at the known location for Marionette, but to use a subfolder. So I'm not targeting any major refactoring work as this bug was intended to do.
