You could do this a few different ways. One idea is to set it up as a
sort of kiosk, wherein you have a simple "Welcome, click here to
start"-type screen, and logging in just gets you a full-screen mozilla.
Couple that with an auto-logout program.
Or, you could probably do something like xscreensaver. Set the screen
saver to some simple "Welcome" screen which also kills mozilla. Mozilla
was originally started in an endless loop, and so restarts itself. This
has the advantage that when the mouse is moved or any button pressed,
the welcome screen saver disappears and there's an already-running fresh
mozilla ready to use, instantly.
good times,
Vineet
