DEPRECATED

This will boot your Pi to the Raspbian desktop and open Iceweasel from there into fullscreen mode

  1. Make sure you boot to Desktop

  2. Make sure you're up-to-date with packages:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    
  3. run sudo apt-get install iceweasel

  4. run sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

  5. Insert @iceweasel "http://localhost:5000/" to the list

  6. Now press Ctrl+X, then Y and enter to save the changes

  7. Open Iceweasel (To open Iceweasel goto Applications > Internet)

  8. Type in about:config in the address field and hit enter. Now find the browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash line and double click to change it to false.

  9. Go into fullscreen mode

  10. Reboot and iceweavel should connect directly and in fullscreen
