Start the X server and a terminal manually e.g.

$ export DISPLAY=:1
$ X :1 & xterm &

The ':1 ' arg to X tells it to use a second virtual terminal, so you can 
  keep your regular desktop going. Similarly, X clients need to be told 
which X server to use.

Then muck about with firefox startup commands from the terminal.
Otherwise, google for 'kiosk mode'. The thing to understand is that
in Unix, borders and such are done by a separate window-manager program.

Check google for stuff like this:
