Firefox Open Location in Full Screen

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hey,

I’m attempting to run Firefox in a “kiosk” mode using an addon HideScrollBars and it’s native
full screen mode. This works fine until I send it another page to load via AppleScript.

tell application "Firefox"
open location "http://xxxx.com"
end tell

The page loads fine but takes it out of full screen mode showing all the top menus.

Any way to force it to stay in full screen mode using AppleScript or maybe some other addon
I missed?

Thanks,

Carl

delay 1

tell application "Firefox" to activate

tell application "System Events"
	tell process "firefox"
		perform action "AXPress" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
		delay 0.2
		perform action "AXPress" of menu item "Enter Full Screen" of menu "View" of menu bar 1

end tell
