Description hololeap 2018-09-03 20:39:26 UTC
It would be nice to have an optional geckodriver USE flag that turns on the functionality mentioned here: 

https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/#building

According to this official GitHub page, all that is needed to enable this feature is to add `ac_add_options --enable-geckodriver`. It also mentions that "Support is best in Firefox 57 and greater."

The firefox ebuild scares me a bit.

I have a www-apps/geckodriver-bin package in my graaff overlay for the geckodriver part in case people are interested. A from-source version would be nice to have.
