Specifically I am not interested in running selenium, phantomjs, chrome, or any sort of virtual framebuffer like xvfb.
As of v56 it is possible via:
firefox -headless
Is it possible to run something as simple as:
firefox -headless some.js | grep -ioh 'stackoverflow' | wc -l
disregarding any sort of timing ... some.js:
location.href="https://stackoverflow.com"
console.log(document.body);
I haven't been able to find a good answer in regards to controlling it other than via looking at the source code for https://github.com/saucelabs/foxdriver:

*** You are running in headless mode.
