This is rather a hack, but it works:

  1. make the "specific page" your home page
  2. drag the home and back buttons from the navigation bar to the add-on page
  3. make the navigation bar invisible

Of course the user can still get around it (by activating the navigation bar for instance) but it is a reasonable "first line of defense"
