Firefox 71 Nightly Kiosk Addition

Google Chrome and of Mozilla support the Kiosk feature, with extensions, and not intrinsically to date. Finally, Mozilla he added the long-awaited Kiosk feature in the Firefox Nightly browser (Firefox 71).

The browser can now be launched in full screen mode using a command line.

Kiosk mode is a feature of the Windows operating system that allows of a single application, in “true full-screen mode”, where the navigation bar, context menu, and menu bars are disabled.

Keyboard access is allowed but limited and with the F11 button you cannot access other applications or the Windows desktop.Kiosk mode

As you generally see x when you hover the mouse in full screen mode, it doesn't appear, which makes it difficult to exit Kiosk.

Mozilla took 17 years to implement this feature in its browser as the first bugzilla bugs were reported by 2002. The first phase of Kiosk's implementation of Firefox is similar to that of Chrome, and Mozilla says it will add some Special Features to Firefox in the second phase.

Turn right on the desktop browser shortcut and create another one named Firefox Kiosk or whatever you like, or create another profile.
Now right click on the shortcut, select Properties, in the tarket field, add "- kiosk" without quotation marks at the end. Then click the apply button.
