Description

Starting with Firefox 55+ on Linux and Firefox 56+ on Mac/Windows Firefox also added headless mode support.

Would be nice to have BackstopJS support it directly as well and ditch SlimerJS.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how BackstopJS currently launches browsers (Chromium via Puppeteer) and integrate Firefox headless mode using Puppeteer Firefox or similar.
