Kiosk mode with no tool bars or scroll bars

I have touchscreen information kiosks running Linux.
I need a browser that will ONLY display the website:
No tool bars, NO scroll bars ALWAYS running full screen.
Would it be possible for me, NON programmer to edit config files to achieve this, or do I need a programmer to to write a add-on (There are add-ons, but not for FF 5) that would supposedly do this,
OR
Do I need to find a programmer to re-write a browser application that can do it for me?
The touchscreen website for the kiosks has no keyboard or mouse attached and will ALWAYS ONLY start with a specific index.html page and will NEVER exit the kiosk using a HYPERLINK NOT on the kiosk.

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
Get what denoted in what properties link.
You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

Firefox is not presently compatible with Google Tool Bar. When do you think this may be corrected. I use Google a lot.

Recently I updated my Firefox to 5.0. I did not know until after the loading that it is not compatible with Google Tool Bar. I use Google for many things. When might we expect that to be corrected, if at all?

Where did you read that Google was going to update the Google Toolbar for Firefox? 
http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html - that is the latest information I have seen.
Plus, recent changes at Google with them renaming their '''"accounts"''' domain will break all exiting Google Toolbar programs in existence.

Mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar?!?! a Disaster :S please helop?

The mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar !?!?! This is a disaster? Please are y'all aware of this problem ? How could I fix it :S:S

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

Can you help with a tool bar problem?

Please tell me how to remove camera icon/mask option that has appeared at bottom of my toolbar and recover the fill/stroke or no fill/no stroke options? Thank you!

You don't have any Shape layers, so you won't have any fill or stroke options. If you had a rectangle and line layer, you have either deleted them, or caused them to be rasterized. That would also remove any Fill and Stroke options from the Options bar.
The 'little camera' at the bottom of the Tool bar, is the Quick mask icon. Clicking on it toggles between standard and Quick mask modes, like you said. Clicking on it is exactly the same as hitting the q key. It has absolutely nothing to do with Shape layers.
What you need to do now, is regroup. What exactly are you trying to achieve, and what do you expect to see in your Workspace? You will have noticed that your workspace is context sensitive. It automatically changes according to what tools are selected, or what function you are using at any particular time.

Firefox 15 not compatible with Norton Tool bar, is there going to be a fix?

When will you fix this problem with Norton's Tool Bar compatability? I use this feature all the time.

I had Firefox 18 that crashed with Windows 8, and I also had my Norton toolbar. However, I removed 8 and installed back 7 (Windows), and Norton disappeared. Therefore,I went to Firefox 15 and my bar was back. It was back for the past 2 days, and now it is gone, out of the blue. I have the new Comcast Norton 360 and it has been updated - but my bar is gone. I want my bar and it is the only bar for privacy that I trust. I prefer Firefox 18, if I can have it with my Norton bar. Any ideas? I am not able to go to add on's and click onto "enable" because it states that it is incompatible with Firefox 15, therefore, there are no enable or disable buttons. What is going on?

Trouble with my Tools Bar

I just opened up my InDesign CS3 for the first time after taking a training class on how to use it. In the class I learned that when you see a little black triangle at the bottom right of a tool button you can right click it and it will show other options for you to choose from. When I right click in my tool bar on such a button nothing happens. I can't choose a different option. Can anyone help?

You learned wrong or you forgot. You can alt/opt+click to toggle through the tools or click and hold to see the choices.

Full screen mode with zoom tools

With a PDF that defaults to opening in Full Screen mode, is it possible to make the zoom in and out tools show by default so that the user doesn't have to use keyboard shortcuts?

CtDave,
I already considered doing that, but some pages are quite long which means I'd need maybe 3 pairs of zoom buttons on those pages so that they would still be visible as the user is scrolling. That adds a lot of clutter. I was hoping there was a way to give users a 'floating' zoom in/out bar that would be available as they scrolled down through the page, similar to the navigation buttons that can be made visible in full screen mode if turned on in preferences.

When I open firefox my screen fills up and I don't have the top part with the tool bar or tabs. How do I fix this. It does not do this with explorer

When I open firefox the whole screen fills with the firefox page but no tabs or toolbar at the top of the screen. It does not do this if I use Internet Explorer. I can google say, my email of facebook and I can get there but there is no way to get out of this page, no "red" X to close the sight.

"F11" toggles Full Screen mode on/off
see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/keyboard.htm
Not to be confused with Maximize/Restore button in upper right corner which leaves your toolbars intact.
Just noticed your mention of missing the red "X" (red background), are you also missing the vertical scrollbar on the right side.
* Resizing oversize window - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
If you are referring to not being able to close a tab, you will not see the "X" on a tab if it is the last tab, in fact you may not even see the tab bar, that depends on your options and on configuration options for how the close tab is to appear.
Check your '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries about:config]''' options

'''browser.abs.autoHide''' Boolean
:Behavior for the tab bar when only one tab exists
:True (default): Hide the tab bar
:False: Always show the tab bar
:Note: In Firefox, this can be changed via "Tools → Options → Tabs → Always show the tab bar (Firefox 2 and above) or Tools → Options → Tabs → Hide the tab bar when only one web site is open (Firefox 1.5).
'''browser.tabs.closeButtons''' Integer (Firefox 2.0)
:This preference controls how close buttons can be displayed on tabs.
:0: Display a close button on the active tab only
:1: (default) Display a close button on each tab
:2: Don't display any close buttons
:3: Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)

Problems with gradient tool bar not remaining on object applied in illustrator cc

Hello,
when applying a gradient to a rectangle i will get the gradient tool, click on the left half of the object i want it applied to and while holding down drag a line to thew right hand side of the object. the problem the arises when i release the mouse as the gradient bar that has been shown while holding down then disappears. this applies the gradient but the issue is that all gradient editing has to be done on the gradient window as a posed to live on the object slowing the work flow.
I am not sure what I'm doing wrong but help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Joseph

Just for the sake of learning how to use the tool i start with drawing a rectangle then click and drag the gradient tool across the box. i see the gradient line appear but when i release the mouse the gradient line disappears
i end up witha box with a gradient but all my editing has to be done in the gradient box as shown in this screen shot:
What I'm wanting to achieve is how the lades hat is edited in this video Working with gradients | Visual Design CS4 | Adobe TV

Clutter free reading mode. (hiding the tool bars etc.)

So I've been using this addon called Clearly from Evernote. It works great I'm happy with it.
But other thing is I want a fully clutter free reading mode.
Such as the one in Adobe Reader, ctrl+h and you're left alone with the text only. No toolbars, no menus nothing.
Is there anyway to do this in Firefox?
I checked out other reader mode addons but they're just like Clearly.

Hi emrecnl,
you can just go into full screen mode. Here's an article for how that's done: [[How to make Firefox and websites go full screen]]. That will still show you at least the tab bar though. If you want to get rid of everything, there is an add-on for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/FF_Fullscreen/?src=search

Compatability with norton tool bar?

I would like to update but untill you are compatable with norton toolbar i can't

hello v2fish2, actually it works the other way round - 3rd-party-developers which want to hook into firefox have to make their addons compatible.
symantec has a pretty good track record in making their product compatible whenever there is a new version of firefox released, so they should already be compatible to firefox 18 (run symantec liveupdate to obtain their latest version):
