Mike,

I cannot think what would stop you from running a browser without any DE or WM. 
Just edit your ~/.xinitrc.

Just add firefox to it.

then

startx

It will run fullscreen with no title bar and the usual window frame.

man xinit

if you want to know a little bit the role of .xinitrc file in relation with the 
X server execution scope.
