Realistically I'm not sure what such a test would look like. I think the program is working fine, it's just compiled as a console application so it shows a console when it's launched. Apparently the way they launched it before avoided that.
I agree that writing an automated test for the pinsender console appearing would be hard, but I agree with Alice0775 that Firefox would strongly benefit from many more automated tests and that it is worth the time to write the tests.

Do you have any idea how many automated tests Firefox already has? More tests are always a good thing, but it's not like they just skip writing them. On that note, test_PingSender.js and test_TelemetrySession.js exist.

Is there a bug for the GUI text rendering getting worse (in the past month or so) on nightly? Or some sort of change, "enhancement"? (I think it looks plain worse, aliasing's exaggerated)
