Remote control Firefox Addon
Posted: 27 Apr 2016, 02:47
Hi All
i have a simple kiosk install as part of a museum exhibition
we have a central control system that we would like to be able to change the current web page that Porteus-Kiosk is currently showing
i was looking at this addon for firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... e-control/
if im reading this right i should be able to send a simple JS command to the correct TCP port from my 3rd party controller (something like window.location="http:/www.google.com/") and it should change the current page being viewed to google.com.
my question is, is there any reason this would not work on Porteus-kiosk? are TCP ports blocked by a firewall?
is there anything im missing here?
