User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

This is a feature request.

Add "--start-fullscreen" and "position=x,y" to "--new-window" command. This is implemented in Chrome. It helps for kiosk-like applications w/o user input.


Actual results:

firefox.exe -new-window http://localhost/monitor.html --position=0,0 --start-fullscreen


Expected results:

Browser loads page in correct position (multiple monitors require changing starting position) in fullscreen.

Probably a duplicate of bug 158968.

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)

so this patch is pretty simple. It just adds left and top to our existing width/height parameters.

In my testing, it works on the first profile, but none of this works with the -new-window parameter.

Well, chrome requires multiple different instances to be up to do start kiosk mode in multiple screens as well. While not perfect, at least matching their functionality is much better than not having the option at all.

This page should be updated:

it never had width/height either

The patch actually missed the second half of the request. What shall we do with the --start-fullscreen argument?

We have kiosk which should be the equivalent.
