The implementation provided in bug 1340233 worked flawlessly.

Recently, something must have changed because now I'm getting the attached error message if I try to run a test with my local Firefox build still running on my phone.

This works fine for me locally on the emulator and with my (rooted) device.

use stop_application rather than pkill to stop the browser in most cases
