How do I configure kiosk mode?

Mozilla's website states:

"Numerous features of the kiosk mode are configurable through policy or command line parameters when launching the browser."

However, other than a single example to run kiosk mode as a private window, it doesn't seem to provide any information on how to access such configuration. I couldn't seem to find the information anywhere else either.

How can I configure kiosk mode? Preferably via the CLI, but I'd be interested also to learn what is meant by "configurable through policy".

I should add that I'm already aware of how I can pass other, non-kiosk related, arguments via the command line. I'm not interested in those; I'm interested in how I can fine tune the configuration for kiosk mode itself.

Yeah, the idea was that if you needed to configure other things (lock website, etc.), you would use policy.

Is there something specific you need?
