I've played with xvfb in the past, never really got it to work particularly well though. At any rate, it seems an aweful lot to get javascript and dom working, and would make edbrowse basicly just a firefox client. I've got no problem with using something like your friend's work, but I'd rather not take edbrowse in this direction if at all avoidable. Also do you know if iceweasel has this feature?
