Hi dimstar, the current TW tests simply show a message that NPAPI plugins are disabled in recent firefox and therefore do not test anything, e.g. see https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?arch=x86_64&version=Tumbleweed&distri=opensuse&machine=64bit&test=extra_tests_on_gnome&flavor=DVD#step/firefox_java/1, the most recent result: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/589033
About the second point you mentioned "Possibly introduce a new test, using Java on top of Epiphany, as a replacement". Do you think it's worthwhile to do this? If yes, could you provide hints how that test could look like?

Ups - I missed a question here, sorry.
The alternative could be just using epiphany instead of firefox. This browser still supports npapi plugins - so we could use it instead.
The test would look pretty much the same, just call epiphany as web browser instea of firefox.

Bulk action to set status back to "New" for older tickets which are in "future". They would need to be revisited in time when we come up with a defined plan and assign to a milestone.
