Hi,
I'm using Porteus on IdeaCentre touch screen All-in-One PC. In firefox I have disabled navigation bar, address bar and everything else. The only thing I have enabled is bookmark bar with few bookmarks.

The problem I'm having is that by touching bookmark tab in an empty place and moving your finger, Firefox window will move instead of staying fullscreen. I'm wondering if I can somehow make firefox stay fullscreen without moving?

I'm using Porteus Kiosk 5.5.0 and whatever version of firefox comes with it. (Can't access the machine at the moment.)

Dragging event is disabled on the window manager level (openbox).
It works OK for mouse dragging but fails for touch. Must be an openbox issue.

You will need to disable the bookmark bar I'm afraid.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer. In that case, my next question is: Is it possible to disable all buttons (beside address bar), so only tabs are visible?

I believe that any part of the Firefox UI allows you to drag the window under touch.

Tabs/bookmarks not but every pixel outside of them - yes.

Do not use a touchscreen for this particular config.

Yeah well... this isn't an option, sadly.
