Firefox extension optimizes browser for kiosk use

July 28, 2005

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. - The popular Internet browser Firefox - which has chipped away at the market share of Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer browser, something once thought impossible - has been given a new lease on kiosk life.

An extension authored by Symbio Technologies' intern Jevin K. Ramjattan allows the browser to be run in locked-down mode. Users can download the free extension by clicking here.

"Rather than add to Firefox, this extension takes away from it in the sense that it locks configurations in place," Ramjattan said in a press release. "Simply download the extension from the Mozilla Update page, install it, and you can ensure that your end-users will just browse the web, not save potentially damaging files or alter your configurations."
