About this extension
The Hidden Navigation Menu is a minimalist, hover-activated sidebar designed specifically for Firefox Kiosk Mode and full-screen digital displays. It restores essential navigation controls that are typically lost in locked-down environments.
The Kiosk Advantage
Invisible UI: Stays hidden behind a 5px "trigger zone" to keep content full-screen; appears only when a user interacts with the left edge.
Restored Navigation: Adds Home, Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons to browsers running in --kiosk mode.
A pin toggle button is now avilable that toggles the menu locked open or hover to open.
v1.9 > The is an options window that allowes you to use a url as the home page, this is avilable for some systems that block access to browser settings.
Zero-Maintenance Branding: Automatically detects the website's theme color and adjusts its border to match, ensuring a seamless, native look.
Shadow DOM Isolation: Encapsulated code ensures the menu works perfectly on any website without being broken by the site's own styling.
