Connect to xvfb remote to fix firefox headless crash

You may try my way of starting up selenium and Xvfb. I create a bash script and save it as selenium.sh

#!/bin/sh

Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x24 2>&1 >/dev/null &
export DISPLAY=:0
java -jar /opt/selenium/selenium-server-1.0.3/selenium-server.jar -log /tmp/selenium.log

Then I run it the way I normal run bash scripts

$ sh selenium.sh

By the way, don't forget to include firefox on your PATH variable

Really embarassing :) It was already working and that error message can be ignored. My final solution is to start xvfb with the plugin in pre-integration-phase, run jUnit tests with WebDriver API in the integration-test phase. Xvfb closes when the maven run is completed
