I check if it's Firefox OS, and if so:
if(client.is_ffos) {
var request = window.navigator.mozApps.getSelf();
request.onsuccess = function() {
if (request.result) {
setFullScreen();
}
}
}
A bit clumsy, and it has to be run onPageLoad (I prefer to do
browser/capability detection before this event fires). The navigator.standalone
property that is set by iOS devices (true if running as web app) is much more
convenient.
