Thanks Ryan and Alan for the tips. I did spend time diving into the source code of the ruby gem. Experimenting with several different versions of the firefox binary and the gem. But as this is a client project, I did not want to spend too much time monkeying around with something my client could care less about. I tried to honor their existing setup, but it has become more clear to me that their test suite has not seen much love/attention for awhile. After much time burnt, I opted to go with capybara-webkit, headless solution. It works! Thanks again.
