Hi, thanks for the scripts, they work fine!
Only issue I'm facing is the display is not fullscreen, how can I set its resolution? Thanks

You should edit /opt/kiosk/kiosk.sh and add resolution parameters before --private-window. For example if you have 1920x1080 you should have string like this:

/usr/bin/firefox --kiosk --height 1080 --width 1920 --private-window 'https://honbra.com/'
