1. Re-run the test equivalent which allows changing config

Sometimes I have very elaborate test config which I want to reuse, but slightly change one thing (e.g. add one param to URL). I can easily re-run the test with exact same config, but it's not easy to slightly change config and re-run. You need to re-create the config from scratch by checking multiple checkboxes, and hoping you come up with same exact set of params as before

2. Possibility to redefine the "median run" definition

It's apparently possible to override medianMetric param to tell WPT how to choose the median run. It would be nice to use a custom metric for that (say the first perf entry marked with performance.mark('WptEndMetric')). Maybe it's already possible?

3. Command line input is lost when moving back in the browser history

It has autocomplete=off as a security measure (to prevent remembering sensitive data) which is probably the reason. Perhaps a browser extension could fix that?
