===Firefox Preferences===
There are some Firefox preferences that need to be set.
In View/Toolbars only Menu Bar and Navigation Toolbar should be checked.
Navigate to: about:config.
Set browser.tabs.onTop to false (A personal preference, normally students do not use Firefox tabs)
Set dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows to true. (Enables quit button to work)
Set layout.css.dpi to 96. (better fit for XO screen resolution)
In 'Tabs', uncheck 'Always show the tab bar'. Students do not normally use tabs in Firefox.
Students are advised to set View to fullscreen. Fortunately current versions of Firefox start in fullscrren
when shut down in that mode. There is apparently no way to specify that Firefox launch in full screen mode and, currently, there is no way to access F11 on the XO (even in Gnome desktop!).
Firefox tries to refresh pages from a cache in memory. This can sometimes prevent changes in screens to be immediately visible. In this case, use alt+F5 to refresh the page from the source. Note: on the XO keyboard,
F5 is the smallest dot in the currently unused block of seven dots in the center of the top row.
