I don't open a browser to do any of my automated installation with Jenkins.
I store a copy of jenkins-cli.jar in the source control system, then have wrapped a python script around the calls I need to make. Periodically, I update the jenkins-cli.jar file that is checked into the source master and that has been sufficient for my needs. I agree that you don't want to too many manual steps, but the CLI is very much able to perform those steps without requiring a browser.
