There should be a easy way to unit test add-ons, for example with travis-ci, as it was with `jpm` and `jpm-mobile` for Jetpacks (although it now appears broken...).

Without this testing add-ons to make sure that they work is a manual process, and much much more cumbersome than developing an add-on with `jpm` was.
This is pretty important for any existing Fx extensions that wants to port to the Webextension api.  Since this is a thing that Mozilla claims to want to support (ie porting) then this should be P1 right?

Its something we should do, a P1 without context doesn't make much sense though.

I mentioned the context in comment 0...  what is missing iyo?

Building a webextension is a waste of time for anyone that cares about TDD at the moment, and I thought testing is something that Mozilla cares about..
