I have a shortcut on my Desktop which points to an internet address.Usually it opens in my default browser which is chrome.

But I want to open it on Firefox without the address bar and menu bar visible.

And if possible, I'd like to define a custom window size for Firefox too.

How can I do this?

The closest I got was to start Firefox with a new profile, remove (most) buttons, and then create a shortcut not to the URL, but to the FF executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -profile d:\temp\newprofile -height 400 -width 400 http://www.google.com. See here for more options.

The address bar cannot be removed in this way, but it seems that you can do that by adding #nav-bar { display: none !important; } to userChrome.css which should be in the chrome subfolder of the profile folder. If it's not there, create it manually and restart Firefox.

The -no-remote option makes sure that the specified profile will be used, even if Firefox is already running under another profile.

Try like this :

  • Click Start
  • Click Programs
  • Click Mozilla Firefox
  • Right-click the Mozilla Firefox icon and select Send To and then select Desktop (create shortcut)
  • Right-click the new shortcut and select Properties
  • On the Shortcut tab, click the Target field and move the cursor to the end of all the text
  • Enter a single space and then enter your URL URL_FF
  • Click Apply
  • Click the General tab
  • In the text field at the top, give your shortcut an appropriate name
  • Click OK
