The reasons why haven't included test infra work in the hackathon are:
1. Test infra work tends to be very time-consuming. It's likely that whoever 
worked on this would get "stuck" with it for most of the hackathon.
2. The test infra fixes for fig are likely hard to split. So, again, it would 
probably be only one person stuck with it.

However, if you really want to focus on this during the hackathon, feel free to 
do so :-) As you said, this is something we'll have to do before the merge 
anyway. The rationale behind the list of bugs we proposed for the hackathon is 
that we'd be more effective if we focus on tackling the missing pieces of the 
new about:home UI (more parallel work, more self-contained, etc).

I hope that clarifies our intent.

Cheers!
