[QA] VisualEditor, cursors, and new browsers

[Rummana Yasmeen]

Hello,

I checked the issues that we had with the difference in the cursor behavior
in FireFox 25 and it looks like they got fixed in betalabs environment.

The cursor related issue that I tested are the followings:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56274-unexpected RETURN upon
first editing a page
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56642-VisualEditor: In
firefox, while typing on reference dialog box the first character always
goes to the next line and cannot be deleted thereafter

The test page that I tested on is:
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Teetly&veaction=edit

Thanks,
Rummana
