Porteus

Hello,
I discovered Porteus Kiosk edition a couple of days ago and it (almost) perfectly fits my needs (thank you for the outstanding work!). The reason for the [(almost)] is that I've been spending several hours trying to figure out how to display the bookmarks toolbar and populate it with a set of urls.
Thanks to the good documentation I figured out how to manually put a suitable places.sqlite (created within another instance of FF) in the right place and repackage the iso.
However, I was unable to let FF display the bookmarks toolbar. I tried tweaking the localstore.rdf file, but with no success.
I'm wondering if this couldn't be a feature the wizard could take care of (i.e. by asking the user to supply an existing places.sqlite file). I would be glad to help with this, but I should find out how to have the bookmarks toolbar displayed in the first place.
Any localstore.rdf guru out there?

hi maurizio,

bookmark tab is disabled in firefox by default in the fullscreen mode:

Kiosk needs additional action to display it (need to add 'Bookmarks Toolbar Items' to the bokmarks filed) so here are tweaks which should do it for you:

please unpack 003-settings.xzm and replace original files in squashfs-root/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/c3pp43bg.default folder.

not sure if i add this option to the wizard as users would still have to add their custom bookmarks with places.sqlite and this would bring a lot of confusion i guess.
we have solution in this thread anyway so can point interested parties up here.

please add [SOLVED] if it's working for you.

Thanks

Hi fanthom,
Thank you very much for the quick answer! Your solution basically works. I just needed to comment out (or just delete) the second @namespace declaration in chrome/userChrome.css (otherwhise porteus kiosk didn't want to load): Best regards!
