there should be a per-test timeout in mozmill/extension's JS; currently, the whole run stops (as jsbridge doesn't know anything about "tests") whereas, for reproducibility, individual tests should timeout.

Is this still a priority? Last I recall, this was kinda decided against. Are we reconsidering this, or should we close?
I don't see a discussion on that. It's more a monologue from you. Put it on tomorrows agenda. I still think it will be a great improvement.

I recall deciding against it for 1.5.x. I don't recall deciding against it for all releases. I think we should have one, that it should be minimally configurable, the way that mochitest is done: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/mochitest/tests/SimpleTest/SimpleTest.js#276

Mozmill will reach its end of life soon. We are currently working on getting all the tests for Firefox ported to Marionette. For status updates please see bug 1080766.
