Thanks Patrick,
I've got Firefox locked down pretty hard. Kiosk mode, no short-cut keys, no address bar, very few buttons etc. I'd already fixed one security issue in the Sun Ray JDS kiosk mode a while ago (I could start Mozilla even when there were no apps listed for kiosk mode) but now there's this new one. Was hoping someone had already fixed it before I had to hunt it down myself. Cheers, Antony. _______________________________ Antony Healey Senior Systems Administrator (UNIX) Information Technology Services University of Western Sydney.

Hi, you could use CDE (Obsolete) instead of the JDS kiosk and startup firefox from there. You still need to harden firefox to be a real kiosk; there are some howto's available on that, because you would still be able to open, file in firefox and browse your local fs.

To my mind, this should mean that Firefox is the only thing the user can see/use. Yet we've discovered that if you "right-click" on the Orange menu button, you can open up a floating menu and "Browse" is available. You can then browse the local file system. That hardly qualifies as 'kiosk' in my mind. Can anyone recommend an easy way to prevent this from happening, is there a place to turn this off for all kiosk-mode users?
