raspberry pi - getting some commands to fire when it starts

I have managed to get iceweasel start on boot by adding

@iceweasel

to the following file

/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

just need iceweasel to start in fullscreen mode now..

I don't have iceweasel working, but isn't there an option within iceweasel to start full screen?

I found this:
Once installed, go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions. Select Full Fullscreen then press the Options button. Check "Fullscreen at startup" and press OK.

And this:
Command line option: -fullscreen

(both from: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=654650 - they are talking about Firefox, but isn't that essentially what Iceweasel is?)

Hi

thanks for the info.  the command line trick would have been great but didn't do anything...

I have a little issue with iceweasel, in that even though I can get the pie to connect to the internet via the local proxy, and I can setup netsurf to connect, i don't seem able to get iceweasel to connect to external sites...  which includes the addins...

I can download the ff_fullscreen add on from netsurf, but I don't know how to get iceweasel to accept it... I put it in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder and restarted but still not worked... any idea how to do it?

Is there a reason why you need/want to use iceweasel?

There a number of other browsers you could try.
Midori (but not Netsurf), for example, will restart in fullscreen if you have it full screen before closing it.

hi

yes, the reason is that iceweasel (firefox) renders pages much better, and has far greater compatability with css3 and jquery... the browsers that come with pi are only good for very basic websites... for example, try netsurf on the BBC website... it doesn't do very well at all.

thanks,
