Hello,

  I tested Chrome 59 and Firefox 55 Nightly in headless mode [0][1]. Everything worked fine with Chrome (all tests pass).

  Firefox is not quite there yet (multiple failures in Infusion and OAuth2 fail in GPII/universal).

  This should greatly simplify our CI setup, once it's ready (no need for Xorg/Xfvb, the browser could be in a container image).
