I'm not well versed in Firefox's kiosk mode but I gave it a try.
1.. install firefox package. That pulled down some 300MB more stuff. Lots of libs, etc.
2. changed the wayfire.ini file to make the only autostart program line
Code:
firefox=firefox --kiosk https://moodeaudio.org3. from the command line, invoke wayfire
Result: it takes some 40 seconds for the firefox window to appear with the moodeaudio homepage.
By comparison, it takes only 4 seconds for the chromium-browser window to appear with the moodeaudio homepage.
Also, running firefox consumes 300MB more memory than running chromium-browser.
Both of these browsers have built-in preferences. I didn't try to edit the default settings for either. Perhaps one or more of the firefox preferences can be tweaked to shorten the load-in time and/or the amount of memory consumed.
