It depends on what you mean by kiosk. ThinLinc has no way to create
sessions without a user. But you could create a set of dummy users and
assign one to each client. Then configure the clients to log in
automatically using command line arguments.

If it's just the single application then I'd recommend configuring the
system with a single profile with the command 'tl-single-app firefox'.
That way the user will not be getting a full desktop.
