There are two submenus within the Firefox browser options that allow for even more advanced configuration, going beyond what is available in the NoTouch menu: See Citrix Receiver configuration#Proxy settings for more information. Note that the Citrix Receiver has its own proxy configuration but can inherit the Firefox configuration settings. If you set the proxy type to "System", this connection will inherit from the system-level proxy settings. The proxy settings here match the settings you would have when configuring Firefox via its native preferences dialog. the Firefox preferences dialog will not allow them to be modified. The parameter "Lock preferences" will lock preferences that are set, i.e. French Canadians might want to enter fr_CA,en_CA,en_US to have French set as the desired language with fallback English (Canada) and then English (US).įurthermore, you can block automatic loading of images, pop-up windows, and Javascript.Īccessing the preferences from inside Firefox, via the Preferences menu entry, would allow a user to change preferences, at least for the current session (remember, writes are not persistent by default).

With the Window size "Maximized" or "Fullscreen", both options "Window width (X)" and "Window height (Y)" have no effect (of course). If you select "X/Y size", you should enter your desired Window height and width into the appropriate parameters. Other options would be "fullscreen" - without window title bar, without window borders, and covering all screen including the taskbar with its start menu or "X/Y size", meaning run in a window of size X pixels horizontally and Y pixels vertically. By default, a blank page will be shown only when both the Startup URL and the Connection target are empty.īy default, Firefox will be run maximized - Maximized means that there is still the taskbar visible as well as the window title bar. The "Start page" parameter can override the behavior and display a blank page, even if a startup URL is already set. It will preempt any setting in the Connection target parameter that means, if both the Connection/Connection target parameter and the Firefox-Browser/Startup URL parameters are set, the Startup URL parameter will win. The "Startup URL" parameter contains the URL that the browser should launch at startup. Advanced aspects regarding the browser can be found there. Refer to the submenu "Firefox web browser", or simply "Browser" in NoTouch Center. This behavior can be modified as well as other aspects of the system.

Please set the "Force execution as root" parameter to on in the Connection settings and read below about the implications.īy default, all writes done by the web browser, such as changing preferences inside Firefox, saving bookmarks, cookies, web cache etc. Important note: In the default configuration, Firefox is not allowed to do a lot, it can not even access the sound/audio device. See below for the configuration possibilities. For instance, you can configure the client to come up automatically after boot time and you can modify all Firefox options (submenu Firefox web browser) under the Connection options. From there you can, of course, change many different options. This is enough to get a Browser setup - it's really that easy.
