I’ve been using the Kiosk mode with the only application (as ‘Critical’) being Firefox. 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?


This is a known bug (6519615) in JDS, that should be fixed with recent revisions (-28 and later; -34 is current) of the GNOME Desktop Patch (122212(SPARC)/122213(x86)).

Alternatively you can use the CDE-based kiosk session with your firefox application or create a special kiosk session that does not involve an entire desktop environment, but only starts firefox - and an X window manager of your choice, if your firefox application requires multiple/popup windows.
