|Montana Bengal| Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 So I've got two machines locked down pretty well with windows 7 (essentially as Kiosks with Firefox - FF is awesome because there is a whitelist plugin that I've installed). The only problem is that I'm leaving my current job and I don't want to have to deal with these machines in the future (the setup is pretty nice actually, but there is a ton of tweaking I had to do). Anyway, I was thinking that I could use Windows 8.1 with the 'kiosk' mode. The only problem is that Windows only allow me to select apps from the microsoft store - meaning IE would work, but not Firefox. Lame because IE is more of a pain to lock down. Anyone have ideas how I might 'force' windows to use firefox in windows kiosk mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Montana Bengal| Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 And just to clarify - when I say kiosk mode - I'm referring to Windows 8.1'Assigned Access' feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|RayDoggBengal| Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Firefox 17 will run on 8.1, I'm running it on a tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Montana Bengal| Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Oh it will run....It just won't show up as one of the programs in 'Assigned Access' for a user. Meaning - when you restrict an account, it won't show up as one of the choices. Basically 'Assigned Access' or 'Kiosk mode' allows you to specify one program that will run when a user logs in. What shows up are IE, weather, music, etc...stuff in the MS store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
