Tests fail when cfx is run directly without 'activate' environment

[Jeff Griffiths]

Recently some changes in the SDK have made it impossible to run cfx
unless you first run bin/activate. If I run something like this:

/usr/local/bin/python /Users/jeff/code/jetpack/addon-sdk/bin/cfx
--binary=/Applications/Aurora.app
--profiledir=/Users/jeff/Library/Application\
Support/Firefox/Profiles/0000000.Default run

...Firefox starts up but then immediately quits.

If I run testall instead I get a test failure ( see below for full error
output ). This happened to work previously and I found it convenient to
create an executable

While it wasn't necessarily a 'feature' of cfx to be able to run it
without the environment activated, there are valid reasons why you might
want to, for example if you wanted to integrate cfx test with
ant/jenkins for continuous integration. I believe there are people out
there currently that want to do this as well:

Here's the full test failure output:

error: TEST FAILED: test-context-menu.testNewWindowMultipleModules (failure)

I also have
$ cat /usr/local/bin/cfx
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/my/addon/checkout/bin/cfx
--binary=/path/to/my/own/build/of/firefox $1 $2 $3

and find that critical to use the SDK conveniently. "cfx test" for my
addon works well (so I'm fine for now), "cfx run" for apt-utils fails
with "TypeError: self[eventHandler].add is not a function"
