    Firefox kiosk mode

    In IE, there was a command you could type:

    iexplore -k "http://www.mendhak.com/"

    Is there any such command for firefox?

    That is awsome - never knew you could do that. FF appear to have some extensions to achieve this.

    This has been working for me since Win 98!


    Start
    >
    Run...
    >
    iexplore -k


    That should launch the home page in kiosk mode. To end it, just use Alt F4.

    By the way, iexplore -k is the same thing as F11 in IE, with the toolbar set to Auto-Hide.

    Now, I wonder if we can commandline FF to do this...
