As you may know, manifestparser test manifests (mochitest.ini, browser.ini and co.) contain a "support-files" field informing the build system certain files in the tree or generated at build time are required by tests. These files are currently installed to the objdir for some test flavors and incorporated into test archives.
Currently, every support and test file is installed whenever tests are run, and many tests rely on support files in far away corners of the tree. We're working to improve our granularity here, so going forward we need to annotate a support file required by a test if that support file is in a different directory. I've prepared a patch to annotate existing dependencies, which I intend to land in bug 1242051. For details on the syntax used, please see that bug and the corresponding update to our in-tree documentation.
