When you run the browser, but it doesn't actually display anything on screen.
Uses include rendering a screenshot (e.g. a preview thumbnail) of some website on a server, or running automated UI tests that click around a web app and fill out forms to verify its functionality.

#9How is it controlled when in headless mode? Still via Webdriver or does Firefox support Chrome Debugger Protocol?
