5.2.2 The “Proxy Settings” Section
1. Auto-detect proxy settings for this network: This option will allow Firefox to automatically detect the proxy
settings for your network.
2. Use system proxy settings: This option allows you to use the proxy settings configured for your system.
3. Manual proxy configuration: Choose this option if you have more than one proxy server and you would like to
specify which server to use. Complete these fields: HTTP Proxy, HTTP Port, SOCKS Host, and SOCKS Port.
4. Automatic proxy configuration: Use this option if you have a proxy configuration (.pac) file. In the “URL”
field, specify the URL address to the .pac file in question.
5.2.3 The “Kiosk Mode” Section
The Firefox Web Browser that comes with DeTOS 7 includes a Kiosk Mode. The Kiosk Mode is a mode you can activate
that will by default hide certain things on the web browser, like the Address bar, Menu bar, Tool bar, or Status bar.
1. Enable Kiosk Mode: This checkbox must be enabled to even view the other three options below:
Show Menubar: With this checkbox ticked, the File, Edit, View, etc Menubar will appear.
Show Toolbar: With this box checked, the user has access to the Address bar to change websites, and
access to the Back, Forward, Stop, and Refresh buttons in the Toolbar, usually below the Menubar.
Show Statusbar: Check this box to un-hide the internet status bar below the webpage. This is the
statusbar that shows the progress of websites, such as “Waiting for Address”, “Connecting to Address”,
and “Done”.
NOTE – To use Kiosk Mode correctly, make sure you have a Starting URL in the requested field. Launching Firefox in Kiosk Mode will
automatically launch a Full Screen, inescapable Firefox session for end-users with Internet-ONLY access. The only way to leave the
browser is to shut down the Thin Client.
