Is there a kiosk software (not the R-kiosk add-n) available that will support the firefox browser engine?

We are looking for a kiosk software that fully locks down the OS, web browser, and desktop for a Surface Pro 4. The application specifically needs Mozilla Firefox to run, but I can't seem to find any kiosk software available for FireFox. Ideally, we are looking for the function that upon power up of the Surface, the user is automatically logged in and firefox opens to the correct URL. The mozilla supported R-kiosk does not fully lock down the device. It there a reason why available kiosk software does not support firefox?

Any help would appreciated,

I would be happy to suggest to add this as a feature request to input.mozilla.org

However there are also some awesome addons you can check out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../mkiosk/

If you are researching/qualifying vendors, it would be a great question to put to them.
