Open Firefox in kiosk mode

In one of the applications, I received a new requirement. To open the URL of the application (web), in Firefox but in restricted/kiosk mode.
I was looking into the command line options, but couldn't find anything helpful [https://developer.mozilla.org/Command_Line_Options]
The catch is it shouldn't use any plugin/addon to the default implementation of FF.
Please suggest.

Kisok mode is full screen mode? F11 if so.
I do not know what restricted mode is.

  • I want to close the bokkmarks side bar, I have tried to open firefox in safe mode but this does not help.

    This morning I opened firefox as usual and found that a sidebar for bookmarks on the left side of this page. I did not request this to open and I want it removed from my computer. I do not like the way it uses up the space on the page. I have tried to open firefox in safe mode but his did not clear it. If I can not remove this sidebar I will want to close firefox.

    There should be a little 'x' Close button in the top right corner of the sidebar.
    Alternatively, Ctrl + B will close it too.

  • I can't open firefox in safe mode -- firefox is frozen, I can't open the firefox menu, and I can't quit to reopen in safe mode

    -I am on a Mac.
    -Firefox was behaving strangely, so I quit it.
    -Upon attempting to reopen firefox, the situation occurred.
    -Firefox is frozen.
    -I can not get into the firefox menu. If I click on the firefox icon it still shows me the finder menu (no window appeared either. There are no outward signs firefox is open.)
    -I can not open it in safe mode because I can not force quit it either.
    -In the force quit menu it says firefox open, but nothing happens when I attempt to force quit it.
    -I got no error message.
    -In other words, Firefox is totally unresponsive. I can neither interact with it or force quit it.
    To the solution...
    -Upon research I believe its a problem with my theme, but I repeat I can not open firefox in safe mode.
    -As I said, it says firefox is open but I can not interact with it.
    -I can not restart my computer because it says firefox is open.
    -I can not delete firefox because it says firefox is open.
    I am posting this from Safari.
    Please help, and thank you in advance.

    <blockquote>
    With a Finder window open, are you able to force quit Firefox by selecting the Apple menu > Force Quit > Firefox?
    There are another couple of way you can start Firefox in Safe Mode: one is to hold down the "Option" key when you click Firefox in the dock. The other is to run the following command in a Terminal window:
    <pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode</pre>
    Terminal.app can be found in Applications > Utilities. Just paste in the line above and hit the enter key.

    The Terminal command worked like a charm, thanks.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I want to set up firefox in kiosk mode, but I need to have the Back (and Forward) button and the Home button available.

    The computer will be used only for online catalog access in my library. I need to remove the location toolbar, but keep the back buttons and home button. If I use Kiosk mode, I don't have the back buttons. I can set it up so that I have the buttons but not the URL, but a user could right click on the menu bar and re-enable the location bar. I need to prevent them from doing that.
    Thanks!

    Users can always bring up a location bar with the Ctrl+L shortcut if that bar is hidden.
    A possibility is to hide toolbar items and (context) menu items with code in userChrome.css below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

  • Removing kiosk mode?

    I put Firefox into kiosk mode and I don't know how to get it out of kiosk mode. I haven't found any information regarding this here. Can someone explain it?
    Thanks

    Does pressing the F11 key help ? <br />
    You may need to press an Fn key in addition, if you have one.
    You can also try to move the mouse pointer to the top of the window to make the Navigation toolbar appear and open the right-click context menu. You should see an "Exit Full Screen Mode" item in that menu.

  • Firefox window will not open - firefox.exe closes by itself

    Hello,
    I have a problem with Firefox not being able to start when I double-click the icon on my desktop. I'm not sure what version I was using before, but I uninstalled whatever version I had before and installed the latest version (14.0.1), with no effect.
    I can see that when I try to open Firefox, the firefox.exe process will stay open for about five seconds, then disappear. I've tried to open Firefox in Safe Mode and open the Profile Manager via the command line, but the window never opens, the process always appears for a few seconds and disappears on its own.
    Anybody know what is causing this or how it can be fixed?

    Hey, thanks for all the help so far. Sorry for the late response.
    I followed your instructions, even getting rid of my bookmarks and personal data when uninstalling, and here's what happened:
    After installing, I kept "Launch Firefox" checked at the last prompt. A window opened, it asked me whether I wanted to import anything from other browsers, I said no. Then it opened the regular Firefox browser window! But, I closed it and re-opened Firefox just to make sure it would still work...then it did the same thing it was doing before, opened for a few seconds and then closed on its own without opening the window. :-( So, it would open only once, the initial time and then that's it.
    I don't get a crash reporter at all. No visual confirmation that Firefox is trying to open, except the process appearing a few seconds in the Task Manager and disappearing.
    My antivirus program is AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2012. I do virus scans with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware occasionally. I don't have Windows Firewall turned on right now because it caused problems with another application.
    This problem is particularly pesky...I don't know what happened, until a couple of days ago Firefox was running fine...
    Any further help or suggestions would be appreciated!

  • Avast detects URL:MAL when opening firefox.No issue with IE or Chrome,after troubleshooting realized problem is NoScript addon.Can it have been infected?

    avast -network shield
    Infection Details
    URL: http://188.24.140.190/
    Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
    Infection: URL:Mal

    Hi Tyler,
    Thanks for quick reply
    Initially after some troubleshooting I noticed that I could make infection pop up disappear:
    From Configure how firefox connects to the internet -> changed from "use system proxy settings" to "auto-detect proxy settings" or "no proxy"
    With this option modified, the pop up from avast didn't appear any longer when opening Firefox.
    However I noticed that both Chrome and IE were set to work on the same "use system proxy settings" and they weren't causing problems...so I assumed the problem still has to be with firefox.
    After changing back the option in firefox to "use system proxy" I got again the notice, but saw that when opening firefox in safe mode the issue was gone again.
    I tracked it to the no script addon, after removing it, the issue disappear regardless of proxy config settings...when I reinstall it, it appears again.
    I am now running in depth virus scans to see were the actual infection is.
    It seems to me it is expoiting a vulnerability in this addon, I will try the reset also.

  • How can I restrict non-adminstrator user from openning Forefox in "safe mode"?

    I want to have parental control on the computer. I have added 'ProConn Latte' to Firefox which serves that purpose but my teenager figured out that he can simply open Firefox in "safe mode" (an option under the START menu) and bypass the control. I have already added administrator password security to MSWindows so that he can not work around his limited user settings but the Firefox loophole still remains.

    Another option you may consider exploring:
    The Safe Mode feature can also be disabled by modifying firefox files, that is explained in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/664785#answer-128337 answer to ] ''How to *permanently* disable Firefox Safe Mode option?''
    Remember to password protect all admin accounts, including the normally hidden System Administrator account (which probably has no password set by default), but make sure you have that passwords secure somewhere, &/or have a password reset floppy.
    A determined & knowledgeable teenager will get past most things you attempt to do, especially if you are not actually watching the computer use; maybe even running a different OS from a CD. Quite possibly the teenager has unrestricted access to the internet elsewhere anyway.

  • How can I disable the telemetry prompt in kiosk mode from user preference.

    We are running firefox in kiosk mode , I am using r_kiosk plugin to disable all the functionality, and update the user pref with following , but still getting the telemetry prompt is showing up.
    pref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", false);
    pref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
    pref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false);
    rpm : firefox-24.4.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64
    Do we have any option to increase the frequency / manually initiative the telemetry prompt to verify after updating the user preference.

    The about:config page shows toolkit.telemetry.prompted as an Integer pref with value 2 for me.
    *toolkit.telemetry.enabled = true
    *toolkit.telemetry.prompted = 2
    *toolkit.telemetry.rejected = true
