  But it doesn't work without X, a common use case for lynx/links/w3m

    Does it really? Firefox when run in headless mode does not require X.

      Sure, you don't need it to be running but you need x, gtk, and glib installed. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372998 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372998

    It does work without X. I thought this too, but just untarred a firefox tar.bz from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ And it worked on a VPS with nothing X related installed

      Are you sure? [0] shows libxul contained in the firefox tar links to various X libs among other things, as the bug report I linked below mentions... [0] https://pastebin.com/eNvM4YSK https://pastebin.com/eNvM4YSK
