Run Google Chrome or Firefox Windowless from the Command Line - firefox

I need to automate a task to pull down a set of web pages and process the HTML. Before someone suggests using wget or curl, I need some JS to execute to change the DOM.
I'd like to script Chrome or Firefox to fetch the HTML and render the JS without actually spawning a visual interface. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Use Selenium RC.

Can Selenium WebDriver automate Firefox toolbars?

I am trying to build test automation for toolbars built for Firefox browser.
I am wondering if Selenium WebDriver is the correct tool for the job.
Based on the documentation found on Selenium webpage, it seems that Selenium is built to interact with webpages and doesn't have the capability to interact with browser components (a toolbar for example.).
Please correct me if I am mistaken and if possible provide the name of a tool to automate toolbar testing if such a tool exists.
try this Sikuli .
This can be used with your selenium test cases.

Complex ajax web application, need a way to load test (possibly using Firefox)

Is there a Firefox plugin or system for testing complex ajax web applications. It would be nice if I could script or macro some web clicks and then automatically test those clicks with more users.
Take a look at Selenium.
This will likely cover the kinds of testing you'd like to do.
The Selenium IDE plugs right into Firefox.
