Wow. Congrats on finally going completely headless on Linux. That's a big deal. This makes it the first modern browser replacement for our old moz-headless-screenshot branch, which is effectively Firefox 3.6. It's really a shame no-one's picked up that work for modern FF builds. Couldn't even find someone to hire for it...

Could you explain what this means exactly, going "headless"?

  That you can operate the software without the normal i/o devices (monitor/screen, mouse, keyboard etc). With browsers, it's commonly used to programmatically take screenshots of web sites.

  "headless" - Without a display. Most programs which need an X display, can be run on Xvfb "completely headless" - Xvfb is also not required.

  As previous comments state, you don't need a display, which is a bit of a half truth. Some instances, like running headless Selenium testing with Firefox, would still require a virtual screen to draw to. We do some our browser testing this way, on servers that don't have a screen.
