python selenium show only website (without bars)

Hi, I just want to show the browser window no menu bar, address bar, addons or bookmarks.
If I activate the "headless" option, nothing is displayed at all.
Is this a bug of the new presentation of firefox on linux?
If no, is there another way to display only the browser window?

Code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

options = Options()
# options.headless = True # make all invisible
# options.add_argument("--headless") # make all invisible
service = Service(executable_path="/geckodriver")

driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=service, options = options)

driver.get("https://duckduckgo.com")

I have tested a lot, the page is displayed only by option "--kiosk" then driver "set_window_size" in the normal size and without menu, navigation bars in the popup window.

The only problem is the previous switch to full screen and the subsequent normalization.

Does anyone know of another method for displaying firefox as a popup window without full screen?

Code:

# works
options.add_argument("--kiosk")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=Service(executable_path="/geckodriver"), options = options)
driver.set_window_size(1024, 768)

# don't works (it seems to work only with chromium, apparently)
options.add_argument("--content-shell-hide-toolbar")
options.add_argument("--top-controls-hide-threshold")
options.add_argument("--app-auto-launched")
options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")
options.add_argument("--disable-infobars")

Hello this is Gulshan Negi
Well, the headless choice in Selenium is intended to run Firefox or different programs in a headless mode, and that implies that the program window won't be shown by any means. You can use a different option known as "autoconfig" to display the browser window without menus, address bar, add-ons, or bookmarks.
Thanks
