As of today we have four tests that use the @make_selectable_line and @edit_user_page hooks, and that pass with or without the REUSE_BROWSER env variable.  

I suggest we set that env variable REUSE_BROWSER=true for 

bullets.feature
indent_outdent.feature
headings.feature
general_markup.feature

This will save a significant amount of time for each of the four VE builds, since the four tests will log in only four times per build instead of a total of twenty-one times without REUSE_BROWSER=true. 

Note that setting REUSE_BROWSER=true does not affect our ability to analyze test failures.  For example, see the failure messages below for a run of the bullets test:
