Bug 1041569 - has been needinfo'd for 4 weeks, it is only disabling this on win 
debug, I don't know how to reduce that anymore, especially if nobody wants to 
look at it.

bug 1041583 - no activity in 4+ week as well.  We are only disabling it on 
windows debug

bug 1017187 - no reply in 4+ weeks, this is disabling the test on all debug 
branches.

bug 1001820 - idle for 3 weeks until last week and it was recommended to 
disable the test (in fact it appears to be disabled)

bug 963075 - no activity for 4 weeks, we need to disable 2 pdf tests on opt 
builds only.

All in all we are changing 12 tests in the manifests.

It is obvious based on the lack of response in the bugs that fixing these bugs 
are not a priority, changing the way we run these tests will only give us more 
reliable results and less churn when we need to adjust chunking or jobs.
