RaiMan proposed the following answer:
The approach is ok.

This snippet has to be run from command line, since only in this case
you can use sys.argv.

Be aware, that each Sikuli test you are running this way takes about 5
seconds startup time. If this is a problem, you have to set up a Sikuli
environment, that is up and waiting and runs the tests on request. A
simple solution can be setup with XML-RPC (come back if interested).

It is recommended to not capture the whole screen in your step "Test
Data preparation". Only capture the screen area your app is responsible
for (in your case the content of a Firefox window). This might be done
with support of a Sikuli script together with the respective Python
modules for file handling. In the test (step 2) on the other hand, you
should restrict the search to the Firefox window:

# only the relevant lines
ff = App("Firefox")
ff.focus() # switches to FF
content = ff.window() # the FF window
if content.exists(Pattern(image).similar(0.91)):

This makes your tests robust and faster.

BTW:
Since you seem to test a web app: do you use webdriver for the behavior testing?
