Comment(by gk):

 Okay, here we go. I created some unit tests using Mozmill
 (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill/) which I am going to attach in
 a second (yes, the current hooks are indeed not working properly if local
 files are loaded...). I'd further propose to use Mozmill for other Gecko
 based products as well (you know, new browsers and such kind of stuff ;)
 ). We could use it even for Torbirdy testing (which is not possible with
 Mochitest) and it allows us to test everything reachable by a XPCOM
 component. Thus, if there is ever need to write C++ unit tests that is
 kept to a minimum, I assume.
 The .zip file I'll attach contains a runTests shell script where you have
 to enter your Torbrowser path manually in order to get the tests running
 (you could also test just the Torbutton xpi which just needs different
 parameters) (not very convenient yet).
 I plan to convert Gregory Fleischer's and my own tests to Mozmill tests
 step by step as well depending on available spare time.
