A specific website can be launched in Google Chrome without any visible interface (navigation bar, tabs or menus) using the command : google-chrome --app=http://website.com

Is there an equivalent for Firefox ?

EDIT : A 4 years old superuser post ’Create application shortcut…' Chrome's feature in Firefox? mentions some possible solutions

  • Mozilla Prism : discontinued
  • firefox.exe -chrome http://superuser.com : not working anymore
  • Standalone (Firefox addon) : not compatible with Firefox 48

Firefox has a Kiosk mode. The source article says this is for Enterprise but it worked in my normal installation of Firefox.

You can launch it with command:

firefox.exe -kiosk -private-window [target URL]

Source: Firefox Enterprise Kiosk mode

The -private-window flag is not necessary but I've added it to prevent interference with any other Firefox sessions.

Note: It is still possible to open a new tab and therefore navigate to other pages.

To prevent such actions, you can use policies.

You could use mKiosk. When installed, it should give you a setup screen. This will have a navigation bar by default, but it should be able to be disabled.
