Is there a local web browser that is available on the FPP/Rpi box?
If so, how do I enable it to auto-start and display the FPP browser when the Rpi box is powered on?

I'm thinking of installing a small Touch LCD screen so I can view settings and status of FPP without having to use a laptop (or phone)

Otherwise, perhaps its possible to install a small browser app and auto-run the browser when the FPP box is turned on.

Cheers.
Apologies - this was also posted on the XLights section by mistake.

I remember there used to be a separate Kiosk image you could download, but it looks as though you just need to turn it on now:

1. Go to Status Control > FPP Settings
2. UI Tab > User Interface Level > Set this to Advanced
3. System > Scroll down > Kiosk Frontent > Enable Kiosk.

See if that helps acheive what you're after.

I have never ran FPP is Kiosk mode as I've always just used my phone. It is much better this year too now that FPP v5 is mobile friendly
