I'm of the opinion that running Firefox on a server is not a particularly good idea for a number of reasons. However, I think I know where some of your concern is coming from. There are some tasks which just get annoying to perform on a CLI (try configuring complex ACLS with Samba using AD accounts sometime).
Which reminds me--a good management interface needs to come out of the box on the server. I'm working on building my own AJAX for some of this. I figure I'll kill two birds with one stone--learn AJAX and free myself from having to manually type in setfacl commands. It gets old fast.
