Ok, that is really strange.  xvfb is used to run Firefox in a headless 
environment, and should only by run by buildbot.

Looks like moving the the JS continuous integration onto mainline pulled those 
builder-specific changes along with them.

One option: check for a DISPLAY environment variable.  If it exists, then you 
are not the buildbot!  And you don't need xvfb.  If it does exist, then use the 
xvfb harness.  Sound good?
