Description of problem:
Now as we have xulrunner bundled in ff I would like to request creating separated package with tests.

There are two major golas:
1) patch the firefox-mozconfig to enable tests
ac_add_options --enable-mochitest
ac_add_options --enable-tests

I usually do something like
$ sed -i -e "s@ac_add_options --disable-tests@ac_add_options --enable-tests@" firefox-mozconfig'
$ echo "ac_add_options --enable-mochitest" >> firefox-mozconfig'

2) patch the spec file to create subpackage
I have to investigate what all have to be bundled into the subpackage.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-24.2.0-1.el6_5

Additional info:

Just note, that this subpackage is not intended to be shipped to customers it is for internal use only.

How is that subpackage supposed to work? I wonder if the tests are installed actually.

This one correspond to step 1) from description.

Firefox does not install the test so we can't package it. But we can add a build-time switch so the test can be launched as a build step.
