    If you prefer Firefox, than have a look at the Autohide-extension.

    Also: Found links to IE browser plugin last week. Can dig if needed....

    The only result I get from an "autohide" search on Mozilla is this;
    http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2910

    Was that it? Could you please elaborate on this?

    I´d also appriciate some more info on this My Programs/opera-in-kiosk-mode combo. Never used Opera and a MP newbie....
    :oops:

    After playing around a bit, I found that Opera is probably the best option for a "call upon" browser due to the best zoom-functionality (not text - but whole page). (FF sucked at this).

    Needs tweaking, though....

    Firefox

    I use my program to launch Firefox

    I have firefox configured with Add block plus (to get rid of adds), Autohide plugin (for launching in full screen) and the No Squint plugin (remembers text zoom per visited page) so I can read all my regularly visited pages from a distance.

    It works very well and feels quite integrated with MP.

    I can't comment on weather using plug ins help firefox but Internet explorer also zooms properly (as of IE7 anyway)

    Thx ,Edna for the explanation. :D

    Actually it work pretty good.
    Additionally I installed an extension for high quality buttons. (High Vis Gnome Big as mentioned by Spragleknas thx)

    But there is one problem
    MP in Window mode -> Firefox start -> works
    MP in Fullscreen moder -> Firefox start -> system hangs up

    and I didn't check "always on top" in general setting of MP.

    any idea?

    Opera in Kiosk Mode

    Hi everyone,

    I started using Multishortcut with Opera's Kiosk Mode, really good.

    All, what key are you using to exit from Opera?
