You remove all their other choices from the menus by changing the
contents of their ${HOME}/.icewm/ menu file
(or if you only have one class of user replace /etc/icewm menu file)
############# CUT HERE ###########################
# This is an example for IceWM's menu definition file.

# Place your variants in /etc/icewm or in $HOME/.icewm

runonce "Web Browser" mozilla "Mozilla" mozilla

Modify "mozilla" to reflect firefox, last field on the line
is the path to the executable. Recommend using absolute path
not depending on executable being in user's search path as was done
here.
"runonce" means user can only invoke it once (can't have multiple
instances running). Saves server memory.
All this stuff is documented ... somewhere.
