How can we open a new instance of Firefox without URL bar and any other control (except PREV, NEXT and RELOAD)?
Dear Volunteers,
I am looking for a solution for Firefox Win App and Mobile Apps where on click of a button from the website page, we should be able to launch a new instance of firefox instance (like a popup box) with following features:
a. It SHOULD NOT have any URL bar to display. b. It SHOULD NOT show any plug-ins or any other functionality except Previous, Next and Reload. c. This instance of firefox should always be on-top of all other application.
Please advise, how firefox can be customized to offer in all platforms by default.
With lot of hope from this volunteer community,
Rajiv

You would need your visitors to install some kind of add-on, since web pages do not have permission to block the display of the page address and users do not need to allow a new window to be modal and block other Firefox windows, much less other OS windows.
Over the years, people have developed extensions for kiosk-style displays. You could investigate those for ideas.
There are no extensions for kiosk mode, at least none available in the add-on section of Mozilla.
The F11 key switches the display into a pseudo-kiosk and hides most of the nav controls, but I don't think there's a way to load directly into this mode or prevent a user from getting out (by using F11 again).
