I've gotten a little further thanks to you. It was user related after all. I was able to launch Xvfb and firefox via a Jenkins job. However, I came up against the following over and over again:

I was forced to set the selenium value -timeout 60 due to the job getting stuck a SocketTimeOutException which does not show up in the debug logs if I set this value. 2. I have done some Internet searches and have a couple of things I will try, such as re-saving the test case. However, you got me further than I would have on my own, THANKS AGAIN. Scott...
