We want to use Firefox on a locked down system. Using the -kiosk command line argument gets us most of the way there. But they still have access to the devtools when they hit F12. It appears there are ways to disable devtools after the browser has been started. How can we disable the devtools before the browser is opened and without registry changes?

Create user.js in your profile folder and add this to it

user_pref("devtools.policy.disabled", true);
