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.
