Note that this works in the latest release only on Linux - Windows and OS X support is coming in the next release in a few weeks.

As a UI designer, I dream of strikeheadlessstrike chromeless browsers, where the UI appears when you need it, intuitively, even when NOT in full screen. The top bar simply takes too much unnecessary space. If there's any dev that wants to collaborate on this, let me know :)

since you're setting the environment variable to be headless what happens if you're browsing with Firefox while running your automated process?

From a security POV, the URL being displayed at all times is absolutely necessary in order to avoid phishing.

Can you tell Firefox to print in headless mode? I want to write reports using HTML and JS, but printing is always an issue.

I think there are certain elements that can be displayed differently. So maybe semi-headless is the solution.

Set the environment variable to tests only.
