on Linux (works on debian jessie):
firefox -url http://superuser.com &
xdotool search --sync --onlyvisible --class "Firefox" windowactivate key F11
firefox line - starts firefox with url and detaches from terminal ("&"). "&" is required, otherwise following script won't execute while firefox exits.
xdotool line searches window with partial name "Firefox" (partial name of running app window can be determinated by xwininfo), activates firefox window, sends key F11 to Firefox.
This code is bit better than YumYumYum's solution (sending key only when firefox actualy started. sleep is not really usable approach, cause can miss firefox on slow/overloaded computers or too late on fast computers)

Create a new profile by running:
firefox -ProfileManager
Run firefox with the new profile, move to full screen using F11 and then close it by alt + f4
Each time you will use this profile it will be opened in full screen.

After making the profile and closing Firefox in full screen mode you can use "firefox -P 'Session Name' -no-remote" to start Firefox in full screen mode.

Command Line
Firefox command line option -fullscreen didn't work for me:
"firefox.exe" -url http://superuser.com -fullscreen
- MDN - Command Line Options
- MozillaZine - Command line arguments
Extension
But the use of R-kiosk 0.9.0 extension by Kimmo Heinaaro works like a charm.
Real Kiosk is a Firefox extension that defaults to full screen, disables all menus, toolbars, key commands and right button menus. Alt+Home still takes you home.

Many useful plugins mentioned in other answers, but not many that work on Firefox 57 (Quantum). If you're stuck, try ForceFull. For bonus points, it goes fullscreen instantly on startup by default. No config necessary to get that behavior.

After scouring the web for days, I found the Auto Fullscreen plugin.
It's just a simple script which does what it says.

on Linux (works on debian jessie):
firefox -url http://superuser.com &
xdotool search --sync --onlyvisible --class "Firefox" windowactivate key F11
firefox line - starts firefox with url and detaches from terminal ("&"). "&" is required, otherwise following script won't execute while firefox exits.
xdotool line searches window with partial name "Firefox" (partial name of running app window can be determinated by xwininfo), activates firefox window, sends key F11 to Firefox.
This code is bit better than YumYumYum's solution (sending key only when firefox actualy started. sleep is not really usable approach, cause can miss firefox on slow/overloaded computers or too late on fast computers)
