As someone who loves the HTML and web APIs, I want to see them used in all different types of devices and mediums. Being that I work for the amazing Mozilla Corporation, seeing Firefox and the gecko web engine thrive in those spaces is important to me.
Current Firefox Nightly versions support the new mode already. Kiosk mode refers to a special display mode that launches the browser without interface elements in fullscreen. It is different from the browser's fullscreen mode that users can activate with a tap on the F11-key on the keyboard.
- Public Firefox Kiosk Mode with optional Tabs Guides for Access Point. Complete solution. Block downloads/addon, bookmarks, reset kiosk inactivity, retry on errors, restricted interface, show favorites as buttons and more!
- I'm using firefox v71 on PopOS. I just setup a custom shortcut to open 'open.spotify.com' in kiosk mode on firefox. However, when I tried to open another firefox window from applications menu while a firefox window in kiosk mode is already in background, new window again opens in kiosk mode.
- Thank you for your answer. As user 'cor-el' wrote, this only prevents that (in full screen mode by pressing the F11 key) the FireFox menu appears if you move the mouse to the top of the page. FireFox however starts in normal mode and not in full screen (kiosk) mode, you still have to press the F11 key.

Firefox was recently featured in the Firefox OS phone, Firefox OS TV, and a host of IoT devices. I was pleased to see our platform team recently created a new mode for launching Firefox -- 'kiosk mode':
Kiosk mode immediately launches Firefox in full screen (and full screen cannot be undone).

I'm hoping to find some improvements to this in its current form, including: hiding title bar, hiding address bar, and hiding tabs -- a true 'chrome-only' view. Congrats to the Firefox team -- this kiosk mode was asked for 17 years ago!
