A revamp of my original "True Kiosk Mode", which is long overdue. If you don't know about the original, look it up. A lot of the old code still worked, but lots of fat was trimmed too.

TO DISABLE THIS STYLE:
If you are looking to turn this style off after exiting from the addons window, the tried-and-true way when configuring addons is disabled in some fashion is to navigate to chrome://stylish/content/manage.xul to access the style management menu where it can be turned off.
To use this style, install Firefox and Stylish.

Instructions in code! Read the code! No seriously, read the freaking code.

I figured now would be as good a time as any to re-release one of My bigger styles. The code has been simplified, and is more reliant on extensions, all of which is listed inside the CSS as comments for quick reference.

This style is multipurpose, and depending on who uses it, is suited for the following institutions:

Educational
Schools can use this to add not only school spirit, but also minimize distractions in their web browsers, which means more work done by children, and with a content blocker of some sort, less faffing off by those that'd rather Facebook than face tasks.

Corporate
Corporations can add their corporate colors into the browser with customized personas, while keeping employees on track with web interfaces that workers cannot close, nor add onto, keeping work in the cloud, and increasing productivity.

Marketing
The web browser can become a marketing tool in and of itself, giving viewers one-click access to items in a store via a local database. RSS Ticker, an extension that shows RSS feeds in a special toolbar, can advertise offers only available in-store, and can be used for advertising space for services or affiliated entities, with the comfort knowing no one will modify or add onto the feed.

Home
Finally, a simple means of kidproofing the browser. Special themes or special icons (with the use of other styles, as button styles are not covered here) can be used in a large, fun and easy-to-use interface, allowing parents to give basic controls to children, so they can surf the web without tampering with settings that'd disrupt the working condition of the machine. And with Firefox Sync, you can monitor the websites your children use.

These are only a few of the various uses this style can cover. While it is only basic, and incomplete by itself, proper configuration of extensions with a little CSS handiwork proves anything is possible with the highly-configurable Firefox.

For the future:
I may play with this style some more to add in settings so all people have to do is click on their desired options, and receive the style exactly in that way. No promises, though, so for now you're on your own to modify the code (which is a good thing to learn about anyway). Read, learn, do. It worked for me, surely it can work for you.
