I wonder if this can be affected by recent UI changes to Firefox, and more recently, by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1355890. The robot icon that is shown in the address bar when the browser’s remote protocol is activated is a GIF of a robot that occasionally blinks.
When I let both PNGs graphically compare those are identically. I used http://huddle.github.io/Resemble.js/ for that. But binary wise we have a difference. I wonder if we better should not do it binary wise, or what that actually means. I will attach both files in a moment.
Maybe only the header is different (eg. different time) but the data is the same? It could easily happen because of large data to transfer between Firefox and the client, so that a second difference can happen.
So, the robot is animated and because of that we have differences in the image. See the rolling eyes. I think that you want to remove this animation. Maybe its better to file a new bug for this.

I think this bug may have been fixed, via bug 1366366.
oh, this would be cool, I see the failure rate way down.
Comment on attachment 8871362 [details] [diff] [review] temporarily disable this test everywhere Marking as obsolete given that we don't need it anymore. I can have a look in the next days (when it happens the next time) if I can find out what the reason is for this test failure.

The recent issue for those failures seems to be the reload button in the toolbar which in one screenshot is disabled, and in the second enabled. https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/cad53f061da634a16ea75887558301b77f65745d/testing/marionette/harness/marionette_harness/tests/unit/test_screenshot.py#194 In ScreenCaptureTestCase.setUp() we explicitly load `about:blank` but we somehow return from `get` for a different URL: 1496328967429 Marionette TRACE 270 -> [0,7,"get",{"url":"about:blank"}] 1496328967436 Marionette DEBUG Received DOM event "beforeunload" for "http://127.0.0.1:38467/windowHandles.html" 1496328967449 Marionette DEBUG Received DOM event "pagehide" for "http://127.0.0.1:38467/windowHandles.html" 1496328967451 Marionette DEBUG Received DOM event "unload" for "http://127.0.0.1:38467/windowHandles.html" ++DOMWINDOW == 28 (0xd6db6800) [pid = 1661] [serial = 345] [outer = 0xd977cc00] 1496328967888 Marionette DEBUG Received DOM event "DOMContentLoaded" for "http://127.0.0.1:38467/windowHandles.html" 1496328967895 Marionette DEBUG Received DOM event "pageshow" for "http://127.0.0.1:38467/windowHandles.html" 1496328967902 Marionette TRACE 270 <- [1,7,null,{}] And as such the events for `about:blank` might still occur but after we returned from `get`. It's not something I currently understand.
I had a look at the test in question: > def test_capture_full_area(self): > # A full capture is not the outer dimensions of the window, > # but instead the bounding box of the window's root node (documentElement). > screenshot_full = self.marionette.screenshot() > screenshot_root = self.marionette.screenshot(element=self.document_element) > > self.assert_png(screenshot_full) > self.assert_png(screenshot_root) > self.assertEqual(screenshot_root, screenshot_full) > self.assertEqual(self.scale(self.get_element_dimensions(self.document_element)), > self.get_image_dimensions(screenshot_full)) On the second last line, it’s not clear to me that we actually need to test that the screenshots are 100% equivalent. It should be enough just to test that we get the right dimensions, which we do in the last line. If it is indeed the case that the continued intermittents here are caused by changes to the Firefox UI, then I believe we are setting ourselves up for failure. It’s not vital to the success of this test that the screenshots are the same; that’s not what we’re testing.
In that case we could have left the rolling eyes of the robot!

Are you willed to fix that, and get your proposal implemented? I'm happy to review. Maybe reverting the rolling eyes might need further changes to other screenshot tests.

I don’t consider reverting that change a priority.

We might want to leave the image as it is right now, given that we still don't know which other side-effects an animation could have. What I meant with a patch is what you proposed in comment 21 just to fix the test.
