1467343 - --app option to run web applications in "app mode" Feature Request

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1283670

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Nathan O'Brennan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180516032328

Steps to reproduce:

I want to use Firefox to run desktop web apps similar to Google's Chrome --app functionality. When running firefox --app='myurl.tld' the browser should open to a specified url without toolbars.

The purpose is for a site-specific browser uses for myself and work-related web applications. Plus, numerous other people have requested similar needs for various web based tools.

I acknowledge this is a duplicate request of original bug 1283670 but since it has been marked as "Won't Fix" and I am the original submitter, I am re-submitting a new request. This is a much desired feature. Please reconsider!


Actual results:

Feature does not exist

First of all, please don't knowingly file duplicates. If for some reason a report should be reopened, you can make your argument in a comment there, and maybe set the NeedInfo flag for the person who closed it.
Secondly, bug 1283670 was never closed. The "status-firefox57" tracking flag is set to "wontfix" because the feature can't make it into that version (the current release version is 60).
