Hi

I know how to run Firefox in Kiosk mode, what I do not know how to do is disable the "X" in the upper right hand corner, so users cannot close the browser, does anyone know how to do this?

Does Firefox actually support kiosk mode as builtin?, I am not sure... and F11 is not kiosk mode BTW. A quick google search came up with this extension.

:)

that works, but I need the navigation tool bar, and a print menu, so users can print.

Anyone?

also is there a preferably free utility to disable ALT-F4?.

There is a setting in prefs.js (about:config) to show the nav bar. I don't remember what specifically it is but I think it says on the download page.

This is application-specific behavior, and each application can choose whether to process or ignore a WM_CLOSE request. Thus it is up to Firefox to ignore the message sent when Alt+F4 is pressed. One way is to disable some keys on the keyboard to prevent the global use to these key/s. You could try this application here but take care with committing changes. There maybe a option in the Group Policy within the OS to disable Alt+F4, so check that 1st. I seem to remember that a gui tool exist in the MS resource tools to change scancodes but cannot be certain of it's worth.
