How to make Firefox start up automatically in a full screen window.

[Dapper Dan]

I've been Googling all day and cannot find the answer. I find all the "GUI" ways to do it through Gnome and KDE but I'm not using either...

I have an EEE PC set to boot up automatically to openbox and want Firefox to start after that in a full screen openbox window.

I've tried adding the firefox command to ~/.initrc but it won't execute. I tried the command in .profile. This brings up firefox on a black screen without openbox.

Firefox comes up fine when executed from the openbox menu.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I finally found the anwser on this page but it is specific to openbox. As per the instructions, I created file ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh. Inside I pasted this:

# Run the system-wide support stuff
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART

# Programs to launch at startup
hsetroot ~/wallpaper.png &
xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &

# SCIM support (for typing non-english characters)
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
scim -d &

# Programs that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 2 && fbpanel) &

but changed (sleep 2 && fbpanel) & to (sleep 2 && firefox) &

So now, when I fire up the EEE PC with CRUX 2.6, it pulls up openbox automatically via slim and opens Firefox in a maximised window. This is perfect for my 6 year old son!
