Major Update to Prism released
Mozilla Prism has released a new version that includes the first prototype of browser integration along with new desktop integration capabilities and simpler installation.
Prism is an open source cross-platform prototype of functionality that lets users split web applications out of the browser and run them directly on the desktop.
With this update, users can get Prism simply by installing a small extension to Firefox 3. Prism extension for Firefox 3 allows users to split web applications directly out of Firefox without needing to install and manage a separate Prism application.
Other new or improved features include:
- Pick an icon to represent a web app on the desktop: Prism can use the web app favicon or the user can pick a custom image to represent the web app.
- Run each web app in its own profile: Prism now places each web app into its own process/profile so they don’t interfere with each other, which also makes it possible to install a web app twice and use it simultaneously with two different user accounts.
- Badge the dock icon: Initial support for adding a badge to the desktop icon has been added. Currently, this can be done through a custom webapp.js file.
Download Prism for Firefox v0.2 for Firefox 3.0b3pre or greater, Windows/Mac/Linux.
The standalone version of Prism v0.9 is also available for Windows (installer, archive), Mac and Linux.
Please note that this is an early prototype. Use at your own risk.
