Ordinarily my advice would be: Don't. Use Conkeror instead.
However, I see that keyboard-orientation and JavaScript are exactly
what you don't want, which is a pity. Org-capture from Conkeror is
bulletproof for me, even with Emacs server running on a different host
on the same LAN segment.
Conkeror uses the same browser engine as Firefox, so some FF
extensions work with it, but with an "Emacsified" keyboard-oriented
front end (M-x, M-:, C-u, C-g, etc) -- all dynamically configurable
and extensible, though in JavaScript not Elisp. The JavaScripting
framework uses familiar Elisp idioms wherever possible, like hooks,
`provide' and `require', for example.

Maybe not for you given your no-JS/no-keyboard requirement, but for
others who find this thread:
* Use Conkeror:
http://conkeror.org
git clone git://repo.or.cz/conkeror.git
* Don't forget to compile the external-interface module:
http://conkeror.org/ConkerorSpawnHelper
(tl;dr: Just cd into the cloned repo and execute 'make')
* On an XDG-compliant system (most Unix-like OSes except OS X):
xdg-mime default conkeror.desktop x-scheme-handler/http
xdg-mime default conkeror.desktop x-scheme-handler/https
* On a debian-esque system:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
* Expose Conkeror's JS innards using the 'MozREPL' FF extension:
http://conkeror.org/MozRepl
** Use Emacs to inspect, configure, drive and automate Conkeror:
git clone 'https://github.com/bard/mozrepl.git'
Elisp package 'moz.el' is in subdirectory 'chrome/content/'
** Use the 'bash' shell to inspect, configure, drive and automate Conkeror:
git clone 'https://github.com/PhilHudson/bash-mozrepl.git'
WRT Org capture protocol for those who do use a desktop env:
# Support org-protocol on Gnome (and XFCE, MATE, etc):
dbus-launch gconftool-2 -s
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/command \
'/usr/local/bin/emacsclient %s' --type String
dbus-launch gconftool-2 -s
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/enabled \
--type Boolean true
