Create desktop applications from web pages using Mozilla Prism
There are some web pages which we visit either daily or even hourly. To see these pages, we have to open our web browser, navigate to the page and then login with our username and pass. It would be far easier if we could simply turn our most favourite web pages in to a desktop applications and then drop a shortcut on to our desktop. With Mac OS X, launch your web page as an application from your dock.Mozilla Prism 1.0b1 is an official add-on that enables you to turn a web page in to a self-running application with its own custom desktop icon. This opens a special version of the Firefox browser which is more like a standard Windows (or Mac) application, than a web browser window. In some ways this is a little like the Adobe Air concept which enables you to create 'applications' which are based around web code.

I hope that this is not a duplicate response to your asking for comments on the program "Mozilla Prism". I made corrections to my post after previewing an earlier document. When I came back to this page, my earlier document was gone.
I believe that there is part of your description of "Mozilla Prism" that may be a source of widespread confusion. At least he cause confusion in me. There is no specific mention of the operating systems that support this program. You made a statement that makes it sound like the application will only run under "Mac OS X".
"With Mac OS X, launch your web page as an application from your dock."
Actually the following operating systems support "Mozilla Prism" :
Platform: Windows 2000,
Windows XP,
Windows Vista,
Mac OS X,
Linux
With the exception of the above, your description (both) is/are quite good as usual. I have thought about downloading "Mozilla Prism" several times from "Download Junkie" but did not download the program because I thought it would not run on my Windows XP Pro system. What changed my mind and lead me to download the program today was: I saw and followed a link to your second description of "Mozilla Prism" and found in a dialogue box a list of supporting operating systems.
------------------------
Several times I have commented in places where you have asked for comment. I have never said anything offensive and tried to be constructive. Something must have the wrong because my comments have never been published, bounced back to me, or were commented on in an e-mail. If there is something wrong, please tell me what it is so I may correct the problem point or words.
