KioskEdition

Kiosk Edition Firefox

A custom firefox distro featuring:

• kiosk chrome pre intalled
• Custom cursors for use with touchscreens. Use:
  • -moz-kiosk is a transparent cursor - The invisible cursor is a must for touchscreen use.
  • -moz-kiosk-dot is a 2x2 pixel dot -This is good for testing and calibrating touchscreens.
  • These custom cursor can be called from a stylesheet as in: * { cursor: -moz-kiosk; }
  • or from javascript: window.setCursor("-moz-kiosk");
  • Note that the setCursor method and cursor property does NOT affect the webpage being displayed unless it is called from a script or stylesheet attached to the document. Each webpage should have a stylesheet that sets the cursor(s) for that documents content. Cursors can also be set from the home/user/.jtjsoftware/kioskbrowser/XXXXXXX.default/chrome/userChrome.css and userContent.css files and may override document authors styles
