Its not solution I am looking for, I want to test using FF, and since test capture page screenshot i dont need to see browser itself, I think it should be easily done since for example jenkins add slave node of selenium as headless
To run Firefox headless on Jenkins you use a virtual frame buffer like xvfb.
You can also look at saucelabs and run against any browser in the cloud without you having to watch. Use SAUCE5 for the discount code if you decide to use sauce.
Either option u choose will work with RF but they are not part of RF.

You could try HtmlUnit or PhantomJS browser emulators. They're trying to mimic the real browser behaviour programatically. See more here http://rtomac.github.io/robotframework-selenium2library/doc/Selenium2Library.html#Open%20Browser

May i know what is the sufficient answer provided here ?

Would it be worth re-opening this given that both Firefox and Chrome both now natively support a headless mode?

Yes it could be a good idea. There actually is a PR for the fix proposal in #1011

After reading the issue, it is better to create a new issue, because this issue contains details which creates noise and that is not required.
pekkaklarck commentedon Dec 10, 2017
Always a good idea to refer to the new issue as well. In this case #1014.
