Nov 10, 2007 A few weeks back, Mozilla introduced into Mozilla Labs an application called Prism, which essentially rebrands the old Mozilla WebRunner as

Did anyone check out Mozilla Prism yet? I think it's something like Air (Slimmed down firefox actially), regular web applications work without modifications.
It's not quite there yet but it works great I think.

Had a slight issue w/ mine. Seems it prefer only 1 line to the grid and scrollbars but I'm sure I'm just overlooking something. Mozilla Prism::
The first of these experiments is based on Webrunner, which we've moved into the Mozilla Labs code repository and renamed to Prism.

It renders using the gecko 1.9 engine, which is the one used in firefox 3. And it's slightly different than firefox 2.x
One thing that it needs, is a built-in server (like POW (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3002)) so you can include the whole application inside the .webapp file, though i think i just defined AIR.
heard of it and tried it out with many web apps (BaseCamp, gmail, google agenda, our own real estate web app) successfully. it is indeed a slim down Firefox with no tabs, no extension whatsoever. I've been using it for my clients recently so that I don't have to test web apps out in IE6/IE7 :). to them, it looks just like a normal *.exe file but it is a browser pointing to a single URL ;)
oh and if it works on Firefox, it works in Prism.
Does a configured Prism app have a private Firefox browser cache?
I am thinking that a web application based on Ext but only accessed a few times a month might experience slow start up due to cache eviction triggered by other browsing activity.
Looks really cool. I have 1 of my test apps loaded up in it at present. Looks promising but will need to look at it further.

I'm not sure but I believe it has a serperate cache and cookies and everything for every application.
