Extension Metadata
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.
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.
Technical Profile
Manifest V3: Fully compliant with the latest security standards.
Privacy First: Operates 100% offline with zero data collection, satisfying strict enterprise and public-use requirements.
State Persistence: Remembers "Pin" preferences across page refreshes and different domains.
