I don't use windows 8 so i cant say for sure, but in just about any other OS Alt+F4 closes the current window. Thats what i was using before i added the custom shortcuts to firefox. And like i said even those only work if you haven't selected the flash video, so i still use Alt+F4 most of the time to close firefox. Hope that answers your question.

Not sure if this is much use to anyone, but I was able to fix both issue with the browser opening only half screen and also the issue with not being able to exit back into xbmc. I'm sure others can do this more efficiently, but I just stumbled around until I found a way.

First I changed def PLAYVIDEO(): in /resources/lib/play.py as below to write the final video url to a text file.

Code:

def PLAYVIDEO():
    url=common.args.url
    finalUrl=url.replace("http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/","https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/streaming/mini-mode.html?ie=UTF8&asin=")
    
        out_file = open("amazon.txt", "wt")
        out_file.write(finalUrl)

    item=xbmcgui.ListItem(path=finalUrl)
    item.setInfo( type="Video", infoLabels={ "Title": ""})
    xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(pluginhandle, True, item)

Then I wrote a script to launch my browser (Chrome) at that url in kiosk mode which also lets me exit back into xbmc directly.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#Amazon Prime Launcher

url=`cat /home/xbmc/amazon.txt`


openbox &
unclutter -grab &
/usr/bin/chromium-browser -kiosk $url
pgrep -f unclutter | xargs kill
pgrep -f openbox | xargs kill

Finally, I changed my playercorefactory.xml to point to that script.

Code:

<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="chrome" type="ExternalPlayer">
    <filename>~/amazonprime.sh</filename>
     <args></args>
     <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>right</warpcursor>
    </player>
  </players>
  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule name="html" filetypes="html" player="chrome" />
  </rules>name
</playercorefactory>

It's not pretty and linux only, but it works for me. Hopefully it'll keep someone else from a few hours of headache.
