Start firefox in kiosk mode on startup

Featured Replies

Hello, I am a new user and have downloaded Armbian on LePotato AML-S905X-CC. I am looking for a way to get Firefox to start up in kiosk mode with a specified website, but can't seem to do it. Does anyone know how I can get Firefox to start up in kiosk mode with a specified website?

firefox-esr --kiosk --private-window http://armbian.com

 

I think chromium is better for this, but I suppose it depends on what you are trying to load.

 

If using Xfce4 you could use Settings > Session and Startup.

 

I prefer using Openbox my self, as editing a file `.config/openbox/autostart` is more straight forward and makes it easier to load only the services you want.

 

cat .config/openbox/autostart
# Daemon
xfsettingsd &

# Display
xset s off &
xset -dpms &
xset s noblank &
unclutter &

# Background
feh --bg-fill /home/username/.background.png &

# Clean
rm -fdr ~/.cache/chromium &
rm -fdr ~/.config/chromium &

# Kiosk
sleep 5s
chromium --noerrdialogs --incognito --kiosk --force-device-scale-factor=1 --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/null --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode http://yourwebsite.whatever &
