Does Pale Moon has headless mode?
For start an automatized task (I'm using Pale Moon as replacement for Firefox), I'd like to start pale moon in headless mode, like Firefox's. How can I archive that? looking in the command line I didn't find anything. Is there any settings to set in the about:config?
Any solution is very welcome.

Re: Does Pale Moon has headless mode?
AFAIK Pale Moon does not support a headless mode. That mode was introduced in Firefox after our platform's fork point, and has not been backported. Not sure if there woukd be any interest in implementing it, either, as it was mostly introduced for automated testing which Pale Moon does not use. Also keep in mind that Pale Moon will not be a one-to-one drop-in replacement for FF Quantum.
What sort of automated task are you trying to run?

He didn't get the hint from his last thread.

No we don't support Headless, we don't support Selenium, we don't support using Pale Moon as a non-interactive application.

Re: Does Pale Moon has headless mode?
Why do you need a non-interactive web browser anyway? Can't you use curl or something like that?
Re: Does Pale Moon has headless mode?
What you REALLY need to do is write a basic XUL application with a browser widget and have it hide or show its main window and automate it from there. It is totally possible. In fact it would be way better than trying to do it with a full browser application but also just as valid test wise.
So create this optionally headless UXP Application for your self and for anyone else who wants such a thing.

Actually, this would be very useful for running, say... an IRC bot.
