Research direction
Run the supplied Robot Framework example against https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/download using headless Chrome and Firefox, then compare it with non-headless runs. Confirm whether the example.json link download fails in both headless modes; done means the download works or the issue is documented as belonging outside SeleniumLibrary.
