I managed it once with a firefox plugin called Rkiosk, which got me 90% of where I wanted to be. However this was for a kiosk in a private waiting area so not for general public abuse, you still need some script cleverness to make sure that firefox restarts if it crashes etc.
I seem to recall it didn't do anything about deleting history etc which you might need to look at. In my case the kiosk was limited to browsing some intranet sites so I wasn't really concerned about this.
Hi, Dunno if this is helpful, but the Opera web browser can be started in Kiosk mode with a command-line switch and requires no add-ons or plugins to do it. Relevant info here: http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/
It works under Linux. It's free to use but not open source.
Hope that helps. Steve
