I'm running a GNOME/Wayland desktop. With other browsers (GNOME Web, Chromium) I can open so-called app instances. These typically:



  1. open at a preset URL

  2. are limited to a single tab

  3. have reduced/no chrome


  4. cannot browse to any other domain/subdomain

    1. and, if I click on a link to a different (sub)domain, it opens in the default browser instance (whatever that happens to be)


How can I achieve features 4. and 4.1. with Firefox? (The rest are unimportant to me.) If a plugin is required it should have an FSF-approved license, but I'm hoping there's a setting buried somewhere.

    Use acl proxy or netfilter rules.

  • 4 and 4.1 are doable via WebExtensions (webRequest, webRequestBlocking, etc). I don't know of an extension that does what you want, but you could find someone to write one for you.

According to this feature request on Mozilla.org it seems that it will not be implemented.

Also someone mention on this request that he developed a XUL application able to emulate such behaviour only on Linux:



wpaana Web page as an native application.
