prevent firefox tabs from opening

Hey there

I am running Firefox on a lot of touchpanels in kiosk mode. It works really great and is rather reliable.

The only problems are tabs from firefox opening. Like the tab advertising the firefox account, first start tab, update tab and the tab to recreate a session after a powerloss.

As it is a kiosk, I dont want any of the users to see these things.

Yet though I did not find a way to disable these tabs/ functions.

Is there a way to do so? If yes then your help would appreciated a lot!

Sincerely Alessio

Thank you for your answer, once more :)

Does it cause any problems if these policies are written directly into the registry?

The admx ingestion of the provisioning package editor (wcd) seems really buggy and causes problems, therefore I would rather do it like that.

Thanks a lot beforehand.

There's no issue writing those directly to the registry (that's why I give the registry entries in the document).
