---------------------------------------

hussein-alahmad opened a new pull request #245: fix for NUTCH-2460 contributed by Hussein Alahmad
URL: https://github.com/apache/nutch/pull/245
 
 
   use the headless option of firefox and chrome in protocol-selenium
   
   the --headless option is added to firefox in version 55 or later , and in chrome in version 59 or later ...
   this is much better than relying on xvfb and its associates .
   we can add it as a property in the config file .
   I'm trying it on my local machine , and will create a pull request when I finish testing it 
   
   I've tested it using firefox 57.0 , gecodriver 0.19.1 and selenium 3.7.1
   
   Important note : you need to add the following property to nutch-default.xml or nutch-site.xml for the headless option to work
   
   <property>
           <name>selenium.firefox.headless</name>
           <value>true</value>
           <description>A Boolean value representing if firefox should
               run headless . make sure that firefox version is 55 or later,
               and selenium webDriver version is 3.6.0 or later. The default value is false.
               Currently this option exist for - 'firefox' </description>
   </property>
