Karma not working with Firefox(FirefoxHeadless) when loading with html page.

[DaveO-Home]

Hi, Browserify/Karma/Firefox(Headless)/*.html - Firefox fails usually with loops and memory corruption. The configuation works with Chrome. The config also works with "Webpack", "Fusebox" and "Stealjs". The "testapp_dev.html" loads the jasmine tests. Also, the unit-tests in tests/unit_test*.js work in firefox.

Firefox - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 on Fedora 26. Note: for firefox to work I need webcomponents for the import tag. I'm using the latest release.

Any suggestions?

Config:

let startupHtml = "appl/testapp_dev.html";
// Karma configuration
module.exports = function (config) {

if (!global.whichBrowsers) {
    global.whichBrowsers = ["ChromeHeadless, FirefoxHeadless"];
}

config.set({
    basePath: '../',
    frameworks: ['browserify', 'jasmine-jquery', 'jasmine'],

I solved this by removing "browserify" from the karma config and building the app with gulp.
