I got the initial test framework set up and got the results following
a run with the server using local cache. However, the test seems to
stall now and then serving up the pages from the local cache.
Sometimes a simple refresh gets it going and at other times I have to
stop it and refresh it while the test is running. Is this expected
behavior?

As you suggest, I will grab a local copy of firefox for testing and
try this once I stabilize the framework.
