Bug 907352 added code that supports backwards compatible constraints for mobile. The intent was to keep this in for one release to aid transition. This bug is filed as a reminder to remove it.
We can keep this around longer if need be (e.g. for Loop back-end). FYI:

> BACKWARDS-COMPATIBLE OLD FORMAT       | NEW FORMAT
> --------------------------------------+----------------------
> { optional: [{ facingMode:"user" }] } | { facingMode:"user" }
> { mandatory: { facingMode:"user" } }  | { facingMode:"user", require:"facingMode" }
> 

Again, the old format works only on B2G and Android.

You need to start using reviewboard.  The UX sucks (apart from the bit where you push to create a review, that's nice), but it's still better than splinter...  In this case, I think that I'm going to trust you that the transplant of the common tests from constraints.js was correct.

This is still probably a useful test to retain.  Even if 'mandatory' is just another 'somethingunknown', it still holds special meaning by virtue of having been something we respected at one time.

Trust and verify. :-) Here's a diff against constraints.js showing tests unharmed. Still comfy on the fence about reviewboard. It seems to be getting better though.

I almost left it in there, so, sure.
Note, I'm going to bitrot your patch when I disable the _mobile test to address bug 1063290.

Note that this bug is over a year old, and the information is outdated. As of 38, Firefox follows the spec and no longer uses the require keyword mentioned in comment 1.

BACKWARDS-COMPATIBLE OLD FORMAT        | SPEC (38+)
---------------------------------------+----------------------
{ optional: [{ facingMode: "user" }] } | { facingMode: "user" }
                                       | { facingMode: { ideal: "user" } }
{ mandatory: { facingMode: "user" } }  | { facingMode: { exact: "user" } }
