Does anyone know if Firefox supports --app= type mode yet, like Chrome does? I want to fully switch to Firefox, but I use Chrome's app mode all the time.
I believe the parent is talking about Application shortcuts. The chrome "Kiosk" mode that allows you to create a shortcut on your desktop that opens any URL as a "WebApp".
I don't think this is being depreciated.
Yes, that's what I meant. :)
It does. Set browser.ssb.enabled to true in about:config.
A courtesy warning that this is hidden in about:config because it's still unstable.
As far as I can tell, kiosk mode does pretty much the same thing.
firefox -kiosk [URL]
Close, yet so far. Kiosk opens in fullscreen mode, no window controls. Chrome's --app opens a normal desktop window but without browser controls so that it looks like a desktop app.
I don't know what desktop environment/window manager you are using, but in i3 I can just press $mod+f to exit fullscreen and it will appear as a normal desktop app.
hum, standard XFCE for me. I tried only F11 (default shortcut to enter/exit fullscreen and did not work) but Alt-F11 did the trick. Nice.
