Hello,
for a project i have configured firefox in a kind of kiosk application
(using win32 here).
It's evoked in fullscreen mode right form the commandline (using
autohide extension).
Now, is there a way to evoke a shutdown of my firefox in fullscreenmode
from something inside the Gecko Rendering Engine?
I fact I do need a way to close my "application" which is running in an
fullscreen firefox-session from inside this fullscreen html-rendering
engine-context.
Is there any chance to edit the profile in such a way that javascript
(on this spefic profile) is allowed to close the whole application by
"self.close()"
is there a way to evoke "File->quit" from inside HTML? (again in a
specific profile, i do know that firefox doesn't allow that normally)
Thanks in advance,
andreas

How about a text that says something along the lines of, "Press Ctrl+W"
or "To finish, use Alt+F4" or something like that?

Well, unfortunately i have to present a button inside the
"html-context". If the user clicks on it the "application" (and thus
firefox.exe a process itself) should be closed (after the usual "are
you really sure you want to quit?" pop-up question)

So the point is to close firefox from inside the HTML-rendering
context. While I do know that this isn't allowed normally i'd like to
ask if there is a way to edit the profile (maybe of javascript) to
allow so

Again is will run in a kind of kiosk mode in fullscreen using autohide
extension (firefox.exe -fullscreen switch) and MenuEditor (changing all
menu entries including the context menu)

So i already configured the UI to my need and the last open question is
how to solve the shutdown of the process
Any ideas?

Thanks,
andreas

Just don't open any tabs and that will work. ( you might need a
window.self.close() or something like that.)
