Selenium with Maven test on Mac stalls

Question

I'm trying to work through this example from the Maven cookbook to run a Selenium Test:

https://books.sonatype.com/mcookbook/reference/ch08s02.html

I have created the project as specified, and the TwitterTest.java class.

The only changes I made were to change the port Selenium runs on to 7777. I did this by changing the code:

    this.selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 7777, "*safari",  "http://www.twitter.com");

and in the POM I added:

<properties>
    <selenium.server.port>7777</selenium.server.port>
</properties>

and modified:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <port>${selenium.server.port}</port>
            </configuration>
     ...

I did this because Server.app runs launchd on port 4444.

When I run mvn integration-test, I get the following output:

[INFO] --- selenium-maven-plugin:2.3:start-server (default) @ crm-test ---

A Safari window opens, displaying the Selenium console (Selenium Functional Testing for Web Apps, Open Source From ThoughtWorks and Friends)

But other than that, the console just sits there, at 'Launching Safari to visit' indefinitely with no further progress.

I'm not sure if this is a java-related problem, or something environmental. If it helps, I'm running a Mac Pro Server with Sierra (10.12.6)

Update: after several minutes it outputs:

17:52:23.843 ERROR - Failed to start new browser session, shutdown browser and clear all session data org.openqa.selenium.server.RemoteCommandException: timed out waiting for window 'null' to appear

If I look in the Developer Console, I see the following messages:

Is there a way to circumvent these?

Notes: - if I try using use *firefox or *chrome I get:

18:01:17.623 INFO - Preparing Firefox profile... 18:01:39.160 ERROR - Failed to start new browser session, shutdown browser and clear all session data java.lang.RuntimeException: Timed out waiting for profile to be created!

Note the message says Preparing Firefox profile whether I try to use *firefox OR *chrome

@user8035311 updated question with results of using *firefox instead — Black
if you mean the process it goes through automatically the first time you open Firefox that has been done. I'm able to use Firefox as a normal browser. Are you referring to some other Selenium-specific set up? — Black
I just tried manually creating a new Firefox profile, but it hasn't changed the results of these tests — Black

Wow, I have returned from the rabbit-hole. In order to get my Selenium tests to run on Mac OSX, I had to do the following:

use the *googlechrome driver
Install the Java Cryptography Extension into my JRE/JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html
pass the following property value to maven : mvn integration-test -Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true

add the following configuration to selenium-maven-plugin:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <trustAllSSLCertificates>true</trustAllSSLCertificates>
            ...
