firefox is in /usr/bin/firefox
the firefox lib is in /usr/lib/firefox.2.0.0.10 and /usr/lib64/firefox.
2.0.0.10

In order to get the page load test working, I had to copy the contents
of talos/page_load_test/chrome and talos/page_load_test/components to /
usr/lib64/firefox.2.0.0.10. Still my very first run would fail as
noted above and subsequently it starts running.

While running the test, some pages stall. As a result, I pruned talos/
standalone/proxy_manifest.txt appropriately. At the end of running the
test, I looked for results file in talos/standalone/output but there
was none.

I ran the test again, with a shorter file talos/standalone/
proxy_manifest.txt. Again, the output directory didn't have any
results. Is there anything else that I should be looking into.

I will be happy to help iron out and get this up and running.

thanks
