switching tabs in Firefox when disabling the address bar

Post#1 by rh102801 » 23 Dec 2016, 13:18

If I don't hide the address bar I can hot CTRL + Tab to switch back and forth between different open tabs in Firefox but if I hide the address bar I can only switch tabs one. As an example, I have two tabs that open automatically when I start my kiosk to two different sites. I can CTRL + Tab from the 1st one to the second one and then back but if I hide the address bar when I switch to the 2nd one I can't come back to the 1st one and since the address bar is hidden I can't use the mouse to it either.
Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know of a work around? if I don't hide the address bar, can I still keep the users from typing a different address and going to another site?

Thanks

Hello rh102801,

Are you using latest kiosk version? I cant recreate your problem - Ctrl+Tab works all the time. Unless you meant 'disable navigation bar' rather than 'disable address bar'?

Thanks
