## Description

Modern Kiosk is a Firefox browser extension designed to enable kiosk functionality, allowing users to restrict browser access for public or shared environments. By setting a default kiosk URL, users can launch the browser in fullscreen kiosk mode, preventing navigation away from the specified page. The extension provides an easy-to-use interface through icons and context menus to set preferences and enter kiosk mode. While still under active development, upcoming features include domain whitelisting, OS access prevention, automatic window management, exit key combinations, and password protection. This extension offers a streamlined solution for deploying Firefox in kiosk settings, enhancing security and user control.
