Firefox installed as secondary browser - how do I restrict it to just one website?

We are in local government with IE 11 as our standard browser - that is a policy we cannot change. However, we are in the process of getting a new cloud vendor and they ONLY take Firefox for their website, so we must install and support it - somehow. Our IT support group is "strongly recommending" (read: we gotta do this) that we somehow restrict Firefox to function only on/with one website.

Is there any way to do this in Firefox natively (i.e. registry entry, ...)? Is there an add-on or app that can do this?

See if this will work for you - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/r-kiosk/

Never needed it myself, but it sounds like it restricts users to one site which would need to be set as the "homepage". And it hides all user controls which would allow the user to "stray" elsewhere.

As far as the user reviews for that extension go, users who rate it as 5 star seem to know what they are talking about. The 1 star ratings sound (to me at least) like the user didn't know what they were installing.

Another extension that might interest you is - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cck2wizard/ - which would probably a lot more initial setup time, but it can be deployed to multiple PC's more easily.
