1Can you please elaborate, what do you mean by "so one can see everything that is behind" do you mean you want it transparent so the user can see the desktop?– Sandeep BansalMar 31, 2011 at 16:06

5Don't start Firefox, and then say you did. It will be fully transparent, and you'll see everything behind it.– ZanoMay 23, 2011 at 14:20

Afloat is what you're looking for. This app has many different features for window management. The included user guide has all of the features. Including:
Transparency lets you see through a window.
menu: keyboard: mouse: macbooks:
Window > ⌃⌘ + page up ⌃⌘ + scroll up ⌃⌘ + scroll up
Transparency or pagedown or down with or down with
the wheel. two fingers.
You might be looking for SetAlphaValue or WindowShade X.
SetAlphaValue especially seems to have an option for "AlpahValue for windows with title", with which you might be able to render Firefox transparent just for the home page.
(Sorry, don't have a Mac to try this on)
If you're using Windows you can make applications transparent with Pitaschio. It's more of an on-the-fly setting, so you would just make the windows transparent when needed. Here's a Firefox tutorial I found on google: http://userlogos.org/book/export/html/12170
