Changing home page - Meraki Android Firefox

Backstory:

I have been setting up multiple Android tablets with Meraki. The tablets will only be used for an hour and then placed back on charge and later that day used by another student. 

The school uses Google Docs and I've had problems allowing multiple students to sign into their Google Docs. 

 

After many discussions, I have attempted to fix the issue by changing from the Google Docs app and instead using the browser. Each time you load up Google Docs in Google Chrome, it gets a little upset I'm not using the Google Docs app and won't allow me to simply sign-in via Chrome, and so I have attempted to circumvent this by using the Firefox browser

 

Issues:

Can you think of a better way of handling this?

Is there a way of changing the Firefox home page for all tablets?

Is there a way of adding a shortcut into the Kiosk that simply links to a website?

Thank you, I have tried using both but I'm confused. I attempt to open a google doc and it opens as a local file. Is there anything else I need to add?

 

Feel free to ignore firefox though, as I have still had issues when testing using this. Please let me know if you can see any way for multiple users with Chrome

Unfortunately, Firefox for Android does not support remote homepage configuration via Meraki MDM directly.

 

You might be able to get something done using Kiosk.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.
