Reset Kiosk 0.3

This works well except in the case where the connection is lost. I was hoping to automatically return to homepage after the connection is back.

Example. I have a kiosk that may lose connectivity. A patron swipes their card, and the next page is not found so I get the "cannot connect" error page. Patron walks away. Connection is made before Reset Kiosk timeout. When Reset Kiosk reloads the homepage, the connection is back but instead of the homepage, now I get the "server not found" page. If I hit "try again" the homepage comes up.

I have added the extension to disable work offline, so that's not the problem.

Thoughts?

That's a good idea! I've actually had that happen to myself a few times. Didn't cross my mind that the plugin could disable the (useless?) work offline mode.

I tried to get the plugin to the highest reviewed level but mozilla reviewer didn't like that he had to (once) click 'dont warn when closing tabs' checkbox.

Anyone got any idea how I could get around that? Setting via Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch) and setBoolPref("browser.tabs.warnOnClose",false) didn't work 'out of the box'. It just doesn't change it. I must be missing something..

This plugin worked great for me - unless Firefox was updated to Version 4.01, which disabled the plugin.

Hi Esa,

Do you have some news about the workaround of reset kiosk??

Thanks :)

I'll check the compability soon, the plugin was only marked compatible up to 4.0beta

Plugin is now updated with some changes to default preferences as well (disables warning on tab close and also disables firefox's automatic offline mode detection/switching if it is on). It's marked compatible up to 6.0.

It might take time to appear in addons.mozilla.org or via automatic updates. While it's being in queue for review (queue position 146 atm), here it is for downloding
