command line parameters for firefox

I am running program which open "chromium-browser" with following command-line parameters in Linux.

--incognito = Causes the browser to launch directly in incognito mode. ↪

--no-first-run = Skip First Run tasks, whether or not it's actually the First Run. Overridden by kForceFirstRun. 
                    This does not drop the First Run sentinel and thus doesn't prevent first run from occuring the 
                    next time chrome is launched without this flag. 

--disable-save-password-bubble

--password-store = Specifies which password store to use (detect, default, gnome, kwallet). 
--password-store=basic

--no-default-browser-check = Disables the default browser check. Useful for UI/browser tests where we want to avoid having 
                                the default browser info-bar displayed.

--window-size = Specify the initial window size: --window-size=w,h 
--window-size=1024,1024

--app = Specifies that the associated value should be launched in "application" mode.

Now I want to do the same thing with "firefox" browser. I need help to find firefox command-line parameter for firefox which is similar to chromium-browser.

I searched firefox website but not able to find alternatives for same.

You would also want to look at the '-kiosk' argument (similar to the chromium '--app' arg) which isn't really documented in the pages referenced in other comments here.

Try to look them up here Mozilla - Command Line Options remember: Mozilla is the umbrella organisation of firefox, thunderbird, ... so this looks like the normative documentation place - the reality check then will be the installed binary, but then you can file issues in the tracker (if an option similar to these needed by you is documented but does not work).

Update 2021-08-30: Note that the options page is in archive status and there may be non-listed options available or listed options missing with newer versions. Until the Mozilla / Firefox project comes up with a maintained manual page on these options a good way to ensure what options are supported is to call firefox on the command line with the --help parameter.
