 Topic: Kiosk Browser
Posted: 05 July 2004 at 8:38am |
I am thinking of running mozilla firefox as a kiosk. However:
- Right click can be disabled using javascript
- Toolbars can be disabled using the browser.xul
However how can you disable keyboard shortcuts?
And more importantly is it possible to only exit firefox when you type in a password?

I think the source is available for it. Haven't looked but check http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.9. 1/contrib/ for a source version.

When you have a stall or something like that and you want to show a website to your visitors but not let them go on a differant url etc.

Doesn't IE have a Kiosk system for the full screen mode? Or don't you want to use IE?

I was thinking of using Linux as it is free so obviously IE is not an
option. However even the IE kiosk system doesn't password protect
itself.

Since you have a closed system, it's all up to you. Use whatever suits your purposes best. FireFox is a nice choice.
