Within firefox, a kiosk user is not allowed to declare new plugins. Choosing a helper application for TIFF images (e.g. /opt/csw/bin/display) enables one to display the images in an external viewer, but not within the browser, in page frames etc.


Sorry but I just proved on my system using  SRSS 3.1  and Firefox 1.5.0.6 on a 
Sunray 1G in CAM mode.
I can  klick on a unknown file and configure  a helper application and start it.
this resulted in additional entries in the mimeTypes.rdf file Maybe you are trying to use Firefox as we used Mozilla. In firefox you are supposed to add helper apps as you go, interactively. when you klick on an unknown file type you get a dialoge to catalouge the filetype and define the helper app. THIS IS WHY YOU NEED to CREATE a PROTOTYPE with all the choices already made for the inexperienced Kiosk user.


later versions Firefox does not even have the possibility to preconfigure
plugins via the GUI.

Otherwise something else is wrong  with your installation

Permissions ? Ancient versions of software ?

 From another terminal :   Copy  the whole
/var/opt/SUNWbb/root/home/utcu0/.mozilla/*  hierarchy
  to  /var/opt/SUNWut/kiosk/prototypes/firefox/.mozilla
BEFORE YOU EXIT FIREFOX on the first screen.
Then you rename
/var/opt/SUNWut/kiosk/prototypes/firefox/.mozilla/firefox/*.default
to  something like
/var/opt/SUNWut/kiosk/prototypes/firefox/.mozilla/firefox/*.CAM

Make sure  that the whole hierarchy ( including  dot-files ) is  set
to   read-only  and owned by  root:root  so no-one
can change the files in /var/opt/SUNWut/kiosk/prototypes/firefox/

Then you edit your CAM application firefox parameters  so that the
commandline  is

/opt/sfw/bin/firefox -P CAM

The web interface on port 1660 does not seem to allow this. I passed the said argument to the invocation command of firefox, applied and logged out, only to find it had reverted to the default (non-argument) command once I logged in again.
Yes it does  !
