Can we run firefox Browser in background while testing using selenium FirefoxDriver?

[SAI ROSHAN]

Hi Pals,
I have a set of test case prepared using eclipes Ide, that runs on
firefox browser.
i an using FirefoxDriver in the test cases.
Now we need to run the test cases without opening the browser
window.
Can some one give me the best possible solution?

I think HtmlUnitDriver can be used...but my test cases are already up
and running and creating a new set of test cases using HtmlUnitDriver
will need lot of effort..

Please help me with a feasible solution

If you're not using Windows, you can use xvfb:

e.g. if you run tests by executing ant test, you run:
xvfb-run -a ant test

What if you refactor so that the tests take an optional arg that
switches the driver instantiation to HtmlUnitDriver?
