While firefox doesn't really have an 'app' mode¹, it can sort of be emulated by using a separate profile and a custom userChrome.css for that profile that hides most of the chrome. See https://askubuntu.com/a/487954/167099 for details.
What this doesn't provide, afaict, is a way to customize the window title and icon (the shell will keep associating this new window to firefox instead of considering it a separate app). ¹ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283670 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1283670 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283670 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to webapps-applications in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688627 Title: Amazon web app needs an implementation that does not require webbrowser-app Status in webapps-applications package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in webapps-applications source package in Artful: Confirmed Bug description: Amazon web app needs an implemetation that does not require webbrowser app Possibly consider https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webapps- applications/+bug/1517509 Or, if we ship chromium-browser, it has a webapp mode to launch things as webapps.
