I need to modify Mozilla to run at 1280x1024 and I need to take away all buttons except for back forwar home and an adress bar. I also need to lock it down to the desktop so that it isn't able to close or resize.

I know its a VERY strange request but its for a project at school. Is there an easy way to do this? Or will it require a massive amount of scripting?

Ty! :D

I believe mozilla has a kiosk mode which I believe is what you need. If not, there's a few extensions for Mozilla Firefox which do this. I've never set it up though, so I can't help you with configuration.

Not very much scripting.. you would just have to modify mozilla chrome file...

I belive most of your questinos could be answered here:

Not sure about disabling close action.. I think you could remap keys bindings and remove alt+f4 action..

Thanks for your reply's! The kiosk mode and the website worked perfectly.

Now I have to disable alt+f4 and get rid of the buttons for it.

You might be able to do that by catching all keypresses and not returning them to the event bubbler.

But it's still not a fool proof way of securing a desktop. If you've got the time, look at KDE's kiosk mode.
