DrDr gives you access to an X11 display, so I suppose you could run Firefox or something else that you could script. I don't really know anything about that and/or getting the results back to the Racket script to signal success or failure. Currently the only GUI tests are DrRacket's and they are quite finicky and rely on some GUI scripting built in Racket. Basically... what you want is possible, but you'd be the first one to do it.
