Introducing Prism

Oct 24 2007

Personal computing is currently in a state of transition. While traditionally users have interacted mostly with desktop applications, more and more of them are using web applications. But the latter often fit awkwardly into the document-centric interface of web browsers. And they are surrounded with controls–like back and forward buttons and a location bar–that have nothing to do with interacting with the application itself.

Transition550

Mozilla Labs is launching a series of experiments to bridge the divide in the user experience between web applications and desktop apps and to explore new usability models as the line between traditional desktop and new web applications continues to blur.

Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we’re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web. We think the web is a powerful and open platform for this sort of innovation, so our goal is to identify and facilitate the development of enhancements that bring the advantages of desktop apps to the web platform.

The first of these experiments is based on Webrunner, which we’ve moved into the Mozilla Labs code repository and renamed to Prism.

Prism

Prismlogo400

Prism is an application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop.

$Refracting550$

Prism lets users add their favorite web apps to their desktop environment:

Startmenu550

When invoked, these applications run in their own window:

Googlecalendar550

They are accessible with Control-Tab, Command-Tab, and Exposé, just like desktop apps. And users can still access these same applications from any web browser when they are away from their own computers.

The Best of Both Worlds

Prism isn’t a new platform, it’s simply the web platform integrated into the desktop experience. Web developers don’t have to target it separately, because any application that can run in a modern standards-compliant web browser can run in Prism. Prism is built on Firefox, so it supports rich internet technologies like HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and <canvas> and runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

And while Prism focuses on how web apps can integrate into the desktop experience, we’re also working to increase the capabilities of those apps by adding functionality to the Web itself, such as providing support for offline data storage and access to 3D graphics hardware.

Comparison550

The User Experience

We’re also thinking about how to better integrate Prism with Firefox, enabling one-click “make this a desktop app” functionality that preserves a user’s preferences, saved passwords, cookies, add-ons, and customizations. Ideally you shouldn’t even have to download Prism, it should just be built into your browser.

We’re working on an extension for Firefox that provides some of this functionality. For more information about the user experience we hope to achieve in Prism, see Alex Faaborg’s blog post. For some of the technical details and new features found in Prism, see Mark Finkle’s blog post.

Getting Started with Prism

We have an early prototype for this working today on Windows, with work continuing on Mac and Linux (for which we should have builds available soon).

To try out the prototype, download and install it: Download Prism for Windows.

Then start Prism. It will display an Install Web Application dialog.

Prism08500

Enter the URL of the application you want to use in Prism (e.g. mail.google.com), a name for the application (e.g. Gmail), and pick where you’d like to create shortcuts to the application.

Then press the OK button. Prism will create shortcuts to the application in the locations you specified and then start the application.

How to Get Involved

Prism is just the first of many experiments we hope to conduct around improving the usability of web applications. It’s open source, like everything we do, and we’re interested in hearing from and working with anyone interested in further developing this concept.

Discuss, debate and add to the design in the forum. Report bugs in Bugzilla.
Get the source code, extend it, fix bugs and/or submit patches.
The project lead for Prism is Mark Finkle and contributors include Cesar Oliveira, Wladimir Palant, Sylvain Pasche, Alex Faaborg, and Myk Melez.

@Sai Kothapalle :

You need to modify the all.js file in the greprefs file. For example I use a automatic proxy and hence my values were something like.

// My Profile settings
pref("network.proxy.type", 2);
pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "http://host/something.pac"); http://www.yagmurtanesi.org http://www.ikizsohbet.com

suggestion— "mailto:" links clicked in firefox should always open in my prism window. this way, I can make a gmail prism window my main email client.
Bailey wrote on May 6, 2010 at 9:52 pm:

This seems oddly familar to the Google Chrome Applications. If you are using google chrome and you have a web app that you like. Lets for instance say Gmail. You would go to Gmail.com (or mail.google.com) and you would click on the page button and click "Create Application Shortcut" you would then choose where you would like the app shortcut. Then you can open gmail in a regular window. You can contact me herehttp://goo.gl/bFcx on facebook.

So,… Prism is essentially a web browser without any of the usual browser GUI controls ?
Is that it ?

Jerry Dunham wrote on May 21, 2009 at 8:48 am:

Bug:

When I have Prism enabled, if I briefly switch my default browser to Opera, Firefox gives me NO way to switch it back. The normal mechanisms don’t work, and I can’t even use the Windows Control Panel or manual methods from the Firefox support page. If I disable Prism I’m able to make Firefox my default again, and I can then re-enable Prism. The development team needs to either fix this or make it known in the documentation.

I had to come back and post here. I posted in February 2008 complaining that Prism was nothing special and I couldn’t see the advantage.

That opinion has changed.

I now run prism apps daily for Gmail, GoogleReader, RTM, Vodafone, and occasionally blogger and google maps. This way I can keep gmail in a separate window / instance of the browser. I’m particularly excited by the changes in Prism 1.0 allowing tray icon menus and dock menus, although I can’t find a way to implement them yet.

While I still like the idea I mentioned of compiling down all the javascript and bundling the app together in one file, I guess the JIT compiler that firefox 3 now has renders this a bit moot anyway. Also that would mean any changes to the app would require a local recompile. So Nevermind!

Thanks for extending the web experience yet again!

PS: Extension support is a bit of a sore point at the moment, its a pain editing install.rdf files to make them work in Prism, and it only works some of the time (I can’t get RemoveItPermanently to work at all)

I have a question on Prism’s internal “engine”.
Is using Prism is like using a part of Firefox code ? means that a web site will have the same behaviour in Prism as in FF ?, if yes, can we install Prism without having FF, on a PC which has only IE ? It should be a way to run some internet apps that have some display problems with IE but not with FF…

Gb3rt wrote on May 13, 2009 at 2:21 am:

Tried it, looks and feels stable enough, but I’m having a bit of difficulty adjusting to a one-web-form only interface, having been more at ease in launching the link of the same web page via new tab (i.e. twitter- I’ll use the middle mouse on the followers link to see my new followers without leaving the main page and not having to click on the previous page button which would result in reloading the page). For me it’s a bit limiting to to view a site one page at a time, and oh yeah, clicking on a link not related to the main page opens up the foreign link in another browser.

Downloaded the Prism extension for Firefox & found it very cool.
But am wondering why you can’t use your other plug-ins or extensions with it.
A Google Reader created Prism app with the Interclue extension would be brilliant.
Felix wrote on May 7, 2009 at 1:09 am:

Hi,
I tried to use prism (as on ubuntu 9.04) with my private webmail. It wouldn’t work because the https certificate is self-signed. That is unfortunate, as I cannot afford a recognized signature for my private server. Why am I not able to add an exception? I don’t care so much about man-in-the-middle. The encryption is the important part to me.
Regards,
Felix

Hi, thanks for Prism. It’s a great app.
Here are two things i like to see in Prism. But i’m no developper, so i post them here :
(i hope my english will be understandable)

– Password manager like in Firefox, with the ability to link a id+password to a Prism shortcut.
So i could have un Prism for my work gmail and a different one for my personnal gmail. Each with their right login data.

– I would like to load some Firefox extensions with some Prism shortcuts (listed in the shortcut’s proprieties).
So i could have a Prism shortcut for MyPreferefWebsite.com, automaticaly loading MyPreferedWebsiteExtension.xpi. No use to load it in Firefox anymore.
Dave B wrote on April 12, 2009 at 3:06 pm :

Hi. Will Prism keep up with other Moz developments, such as the much faster JIT compiler based Javascript in TraceMonkey? Perhaps an about that says something like “based on the same JS engine shipped in Minefiled 3.6a1pre” for example?

I have a similar question for my application based on xulrunner like Prism.
I use the xulrunner construct a tiny browser to check my page is ok,and there is a question. When the url is wrong , the xulrunner will popup an alertwindow “The url is not valid and cannot loaded”. I don’t wanna this situation happen，because the application is running in wrokstation having the request running 7×24.
Is there have solutions to forbid the popup window?
thx

I download and tried Prism and must admit that it works great. However I find it inconvenient that I have to enter all kind of default information that’s normally stored in the corresponding cookies. For example using google translation with the default languages.
Do I overlook something or am I using Prism for the wrong webapps?

It is worth noting that it is excellent for hosting the .Mac site now known as mobileme thru Linux.
The site struggled with my eeePc & Linux (esp.embedded functionality) but Prism is excellent for this purpose.

Keep up the Good Work – it is much appreciated.

Myra Nelson wrote on February 1, 2009 at 1:23 pm:

For those of us who use web mail and find that gmail, the newest version is slow in Firefox, Prism is great.

For those of us who have moved on from Windows and MSDos after 30+ years and find Adobe to be unnecessary, I’m not sure what Flash has to do with being able to open gmail without loading Firefox. The standalone version of Prism allows me the flexibility of using email without Thunderbird or Firefox. Simple tools are better than all encompassing applications.

Keeping things simple improves the overall computing experience.

When working offline, your changes will be uploaded/applied the moment you go onlie. While working online, Prism is not much more than some kind of distractionless browser. One great thing about Prism is, that you can integrate your webapps with your normal desktop. Like having a starter for Google Mail or Zoho Mail in your menu instead (or in addition if you like) of Evolution, Kontact or Thunderbird (whatever you use). This especially helps, if you’re working on different computers and want to use the same apps and the same documents everywhere without portable apps, a live USB or a USB, where you carry all your data with you (since both data and programs are in the cloud) and on old hardware (since Prism Apps do have a very small fingerprint).

What they said was “Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we’re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web.”

Perhaps they mean “proprietary” being the difference and/or the “replace the web.” It isn’t real clear, but it is a nice feature. FYI: Many would give Mozilla a try before using another firm’s products.

If what I understood holds then Prism is in no way similar to Adobe AIR SDK which lets people build actual desktop apps using Flex, Flash or AJAX.

So far, I really enjoy using Prism. It works GREAT for Gmail, which was always crashing or locking up my Firefox window, and now even if I have to restart firefox after installing plugins, etc. The Prism window stays nicely in place as if it weren’t running firefox on the backend at all.

I didn’t like adding the application as it didn’t auto grab an icon for gmail, so I had to go find one, and then manually assign it.

I do forsee using this for a LOT of sites that I frequent a ridiculous amount each day.

If you added framesets you could get it to display the contents of a page on a server, that way it wasn’t necessary to redistribute the HTA every time you made a change to the code. I developed a version for another client of the call center after my position was exported and I was moved to that client. HTA made my job easier, it just had one flaw that kept me from going into the business of developing consolidated interfaces for call centers… It only works on Windows, and it only opened new window links using IE.

Great feature Mozilla – thank you. This is much better than Adobe Air and MS Silverlight. IMO, it’s lighter, thinner, and more open as there’s less proprietry garbage to wade through with this solution.

It is DRAMATICALLY faster and easier to set this up than it is to install & set up Adobe Air & MS Silverlight. It’s no wonder some people have got their backs up over this.

As to those who are saying ‘why remove the back/forward buttons’. I suggest that this solution is not for you, but rather for more leading edge developers who are in the realm of larger scale, proper ajax applications etc etc, where in fact the back/forward button sometimes becomes undesired.

This product DEFINITELY has a place in the market. the End result is, what appears to be a 100% local software application for the client, but with the benefit of zero upgrade/patch/deploy maintenance (that can all still be done server side). It’s very elegant and I congratulate you Mozilla on a great product.

Reducing the screen real-estate is VERY important if you are using a 1024×600 or even an 800×400 screen. Having Gmail or Airset or whatever in an absolutely minimal window makes a genuinely important difference on screens that size.

Any timetable for a Linux version?

Edgar Harris wrote on May 20, 2008 at 11:58 am:

This is a really cool looking product, and I definitely think it is a step in the right direction. While I’m really excited to see where this goes the following comment stuck out to me:

“Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we’re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web. We think the web is a powerful and open platform for this sort of innovation, so our goal is to identify and facilitate the development of enhancements that bring the advantages of desktop apps to the web platform.”

I agree that the Web is a powerful and open platform for application development, but I would argue that it is hardly ideal, that’s why technologies such as Flex and Silverlight have gotten so much attention. The web has become a platform, but it isn’t a very good platform. To develop on the Web we have to use javascript for our business logic and HTML for our UI’s. Neither technology was intended for application development and it shows. The big issue I see here is the browser isn’t ideal for supporting future technologies. Personally I really like what .Net has done for Windows development. .Net is a robust platform where the CLR is capable of running CIL, a low level language. All .Net languages then compile to CIL and the .Net framework is capable of running those applications. This makes it possible to innovate at the language level, and as long as that language compiles to .Net the .Net framework can take advantage of those langauges, and vice versa. I realize that .Net is a proprietary technology, but I think browsers could really benefit from incorporating a similar technology. Browsers could run some sort of VM that executes a low level Intermediate Language code. Compilers could be made to compile programming those languages to the browser IL code, and browsers could execute those applications without any plug-ins. Doing something like that would make the browser a truly robust platform that application developers could get behind. I realize that Prism is just one step in the right direction, but I hope that you guys at Mozilla are really thinking about how to take web development to the next level.

I believe web developers could use custom tags in their pages to invoke things like desktop alerts through the Prism framework. I’ve played with this a bit and its clearly very early stage. Mozilla’s approach seems to be based on enhancing integration via packaging and extending an existing web app, but not custom-writing one. […]

but the Session management is as poor as in Firefox.

You cannot open the same application in two different windows with two different users as you will end with one session cookie (for the last logged in user).

Try Gmail or Google Calendar with two different users in two different Prism windows at the same time …
I love Firefox but I really hate that behaviour … IE7 can have more than one process running so you don’t have that problem.

With Prism, is it mandatory to sign in a website manually without being able to have Prism remember usernames and passwords?

When I tried it, it wouldn’t load extensions like RoboForm, which is to be expected, but are we supposed to log in to websites manually with this?

I hope I’m wrong and I missed the steps to take to make remembering usernames/password active with Prism.

I tried it and found that it is not that useful to me unless it can access the password lists of Firefox and can also open links in new tabs.

The sites I wanted to put it into need passwords for access and much of their utility is from following links.

The idea is very good and I could use it if it had these capabilities.

This is stupid. Only thing you guys have done is to take a perfectly good web browser, strip out everything and only allow one site to be run at a time. This is not Desktop Integration. Its a stripped down browser that is restricted to a single site!
Alfonso Baqueiro wrote on February 27, 2008 at 10:41 am :

It is important the apps run in is own process, because for now, when firefox collapse, all the web apps closes, and probably only one app is the cause.

One important aspect is the ability we, web developers, be able to save data in the user machine when the user is offline, and sync when it get online, throug javascript or something, for example if we are building a email client, some way to give the user the ability to compose email offline, save it to its own pc, and when it gets online, sync with servers.

THE KEY CONCEPT IS WE CAN BUILD A SQL (sqlite probably) database for our application and we can query from some API in javascript, probably we request it using a javascript call, the browser ask the user if it allow the app to have is local database, probably with restrictions on the size or something, and with it we can store data cached on the client, combining this with the browser caches the application can work offline if needed, as it can have access to the cached data.

Felicidades, Great Job. You are building the best browser on the planet.

Brad Cathey wrote on February 20, 2008 at 10:53 am:

If websites can somehow take advantage of running in an desktop environment (file access, network access, etc.) without having to use proprietary markup/code (MXML/MSXML), then we are on to something. Like print stylesheets, web designers can bundle functionality based on the user’s environment. “Browser” style users get most functionality under generic security model while “desktop” style users get all of the functionality for their trusted sites. What about a user certifying sites to enable extra functionality that may be dangerous fare for “untrusted” websites (and hopefully with a better implementation than cookie and popup blocker management)
Of course, that begs the question: Couldn’t this be an extension of current browser functionality? What if browsers natively had access to run SQLLite and have file IO, persisted storage (a runtime)?
Lawrence wrote on February 20, 2008 at 8:38 am :

Interesting read, I grant you that. As an Adobe AIR user, I have to agree with the majority and say that while your technology is interesting, it serves little purpose. The benefits of the alternative technologies are mainly to keep the UI easy for the end user – this software 1) ATM has to be operated and installed manually by the end user (what page will offer step by step introductions when the alternatives are automatic?) 2) is by no means easy for the end user and doesn’t provide much functionality.

This software should not be considered as a competitor- or an alternative. It is, however, a useful tool for firefox users to “bookmark” things to the desktop.

Good luck on the project. Interested to see where this goes.

I’ve tried prism and I can’t seen any huge advantage to it really. If you really wanted to make a desktop app out of a web app, the best way (I think) would be to provide some sort of xul app creator / js compilation service for existing webapps, so you could essentially take a web app (lets say gmail for now), compile the JS down so it runs faster, include a few choice extensions and compile the lot as a neat little app that runs thru XUL runner.

Then at least there’d be some advantage to it besides Icons for a website, which anyone can do simply by making a desktop shortcut to a webpage and giving it an icon.

Having said that, mozilla being mozilla, I’m sure you’re already working on something that will make us all go ‘ooohhhh’ – like a lightning fast stripped down firefox3 with embedded support for jQuery or Prototype that uses openGL to enhance javascript animations…. THAT would be awesome…

I see the Mac application Fluid has already been mentioned.

Remember, thanks to WebKit, creating a web browser app on the Mac take just a couple lines of code.

So, I really don’t see the point of Prism on the Mac. On Windows, it’s main purpose seems to be to handle all the Program Manager / Registry / Start Menu hackery; likewise on Linux, I suppose it integrates into whatever package manager is in use.

I do like the idea of building it into the browser, though, so that any site can be “applicationized” easily.

You cannot open the same application in two different windows with two different users as you will end with one session cookie (for the last logged in user).

Try Gmail or Google Calendar with two different users in two different Prism windows at the same time …

Hi,

today i installed Prism, primarily for measuring performance of WebApps we are currently working on. Even with disabled Firebug and stuff, FF seemed less reliable to evaluate performance than we hoped Prism might. All of our webapps make heavy use of the Dojo toolkit, but, sadly, most of them were broken inside Prism. To be precise, layouting widgets fail to calculate their positions and sizes correctly.

I cannot say exactly why – dojo correctly recognizes the gecko engine. I wonder if anyone else and/or the labs crew has made similar experiences.

Besides this, i’d consider Prism a valuable project and we are all looking forward to seeing it evolve!

Regards,

Juan

Jonas Hartmann wrote on January 2, 2008 at 1:12 pm:

Sadly, Mike Chambers , you fail miserable in your argumentation.

Adobe AIR is “build” around Flash, PDF and Flex. So lets see why AIR is “bad” and PRISM is good (as a standalone viewer by the Webkit team that creates some icon for you and starts webkits in a separate process is great as well, and even a web to desktop approach by Opera would still be “more open” and less proprietary even though Opera itself is closed source and proprietary. Why? Lets see!

1. Flash, while there are foss projects for viewing/using and creating, is proprietary technology by you, Adobe. You set the rules and not a standards committee.

It integrates REALLY BAD (spellchecking by the browser/os?, bookmarks? tabs? setting sound volume? security issues, just a view things named here) with the modern web and basically is only good for one purpose: video (and interactive video) – but even that is nothing good cause it seems Apple would not want to pay you a million $$$ bucks for your sincerely permission to use flash as a client player in their iPhone, maybe they just feared your omnipresence and decided to STICK WITH OPEN AND INDEPENDED standards (like their video standard they use)

Conclusion: you build AIR around flash, flash is owned by you, we would depend on YOU when using AIR. AIR = BAD. This is NOT the case with prism. If webkit will do it better one time, everyone can leave this then sinking ship and enter their deskit or however they will name it ;).

2. PDF

While PDF is partially an open ISO norm it is PRIMARILY a proprietary standard, if it is open or not does not matter cause you, Adobe, can make users of it: A.) pay for it B.) make them pay for liscense C.) hide new technological approaches within PDF.

Conclusion: PDF is nothing good, better stick for PDF-X ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/X ) (the ISO part of PDF) if you want EXACT printable documents, else skip PDF for anything else (for example use open document format or just html). AIR builds around PDF, PDF is not good, AIR is not good, simple as that :(.

3. FLEX

Flex is your wannabe .NET as far as I got it. But wait, the main interpreters for net are not available by anyone but you for real use. Lets take a look at .NET – wow there is MONO and other things – but you know the best? If you use prism, you do not have to let OTHERS decide which framework to take, you can take Ruby on Rails, or CakePHP, or Typo3, or whatever YOU PREFER.

Conclusion: Flex is not flexible, it encages you, and you will have to pay for it. AIR is build around Flex, Flex is bad, AIR is bad.

So Mike Chambers, while I understand your bias, cause you work at Adobe, and you like your Job more than your free thought, you should really see into something someone would call TRUTH.

Obvious Truth is, it seems, that PRISM is very elegant approach to let the average guy make the best out of WEB 2.0 (which might then, with full canvas, maybe canvas 3, svg, &shy-support, and so result into WEB 3.0, faster, better accessible, more intuitive web).

AIR is not, nor is Silverlight.

So, thanks for pointing it out right,
thanks for developing and delivering PRISM!

J. Bobby Lopez wrote on January 2, 2008 at 10:42 am:

I think this is an important undertaking, and I’m glad Mozilla is taking it on.

For many power users, using a single web browser to handle all of the web pages and applications you may be using at any one time can become a crippling user experience.

I would consider myself a Firefox power user – I use Firefox pretty much everywhere (if it was available for my blackberry, I’d have it everywhere). I use it on windows, I use it on Debian and Ubuntu, I use tabs like crazy (I regularly have 20-50 tabs open at any one time).

There are many users out there (like me) who don’t just use a web browser to surf the odd news site or blog, but use it as part of a regular toolkit of applications used on a daily basis, such as Gmail, Web Calendar (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php), Craigslist, Youtube, Perlmonks, etc. for work and/or personal projects.

I also make use of Tab Groups (http://paranoid-androids.com/tabgroups/), and Session Manager (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324) to make my work with Firefox and the web even more productive.

The real drawback the the way I currently work is that all this websites, all this web applications and tools are being run under one Firefox process which can grow to consume 300MB + of memory. When Firefox eventually crashes because of the the odd, poorly coded website, it will take ALL of my Tab Groups, Tabs, and Sessions with it. Then I have to start Firefox again (woun’t loose my place, because of Session Manager and Tab Groups) but it takes for every to log back into each and every web application that I was using.

Prisim, (from what I’ve been reading) aims to get rid of the possibility one browser session affecting another, and running each web application as a separate process.

Down the road, Prisim could even be transparent within Firefox, automatically loading each web site as a separate process in each tab, so that you could “pop” that tab out into a separate window, and close down the remaining Firefox browser without affecting the popped out session.

There are so many possibilities for Prisim, I’m really excited about it!

HI, I’ve been using this quite a bit and I like the concept. It really makes apps more like apps, but I think it needs some fine-tuning. A couple of my ideas/suggestions:

– Link urls directly to Prism. E.G. If I have facebook.com set up in Prism, and I have a link that takes me to Facebook, open it up in Prism.

– More intelligent target URL checking. A lot of the links I open up in GMail open up in Prism windows rather than my default browser because of the way GMail handles external links.

– I don’t know if this is a general issue, but shortcuts like the backspace (navigate back) key don’t work. This can make navigation very frustrating. Although I don’t want erroneous navigation buttons cluttering up my applications, I often still want their functionality.

Great tool though.

Its freak as I wanted to create something like that.

The goal here I think is more to create a real differentiation between web APPLICATIONS and web documents or sites.

Now, imagine a company where applications be them web or desktop are bound to application design rules and web sites are bound to web site design rules. No more mix up and fuck up! This is just the best way to introduce management to web applications the way they should be introduced, as applications.

The thought of using IE to segregate the logins is distasteful at best. With Prism, my calendar stays logged in regardless of which email I’m using.

So simple, but so useful.

Chirag’s response 17 was right on, for right now.
Some more thoughts:

“1. Seriously long load time.”
It’s way early; be patient.

“2. Once you’ve created a “webapp”, there seems to be no way to edit the settings other than editing the webapp.ini”
Ditto.

“5. Needs keyboard shortcut keys. If they are present, I can’t find them. Keyboard for full screen, minimize to tray, stay on top etc. would be great.”
How about Backspace/back (still possible on many “web apps”), Crtl-X/Cut, Ctrl-C/copy, Ctrl-V/paste?

6. Preferences absolutely must allow selection of a non-default browser.
At work, my default browser must be IE6 (long story, many reasons, don’t get me started).
Which means Prism opens links in IE6. Which is just … icky.

I have a Question: Prism does not know of MIME-Type “application/x-jinit-applet;version=1.3.1.22”, which is a Java-Runtime implemented for Oracle Internet Application Server, while Firefox does. Even if I re-install the Runtime, Prism won’t be aware of. Is it a fault within Prism or must the Java Runtime register itself with all available “Browsers”? I have also installed the Java Runtime from Sun and these Applets are loaded correctly into Prism.. I run Windows XP w/ SP2

I’ve just tried adding the .manifest file of an XUL program I’m building to the Prism chrome directory, and everything so far is working exactly as expected. Prism is more than just a way of adding a shortcut to the deskop for a web site you want to run in its own window, even as it stands at the moment, it’s a way for developers to quickly build entire programs that work either online or offline using technologies such as XML, XUL and Javascript, without having the browser controls present.

Pingback from Gimahhot Produkte-News » Mozilla Prism: Die Verschmelzung von Online- und Offline-Workstation on November 19, 2007 at 7:29 am:

[…] Mozilla arbeitet an einer Reihe von Projekten, die die Bedienbarkeit von Internet-Applikationen und Desktop Add-Ons mit Hilfe des Browser noch einfacher und intuitiver gestalten soll. Ein interessantes Produkt dieser Experimente ist „Prism“, über das auf Onlineanwendungen direkt über den Desktop zugegriffen werden kann. Über die jeweilige URL sucht man sich einen Online-Service seiner Wahl und erzeugt via Prism ein Desktop-Icon dazu. So kann man sich je nach Anwendung über das Wetter, den Börsenkurs, oder die letzten Mails informieren lassen. Bei Prisma handelt sich also quasi um einen unsichtbaren Internet-Navigator. Wenn man sich eine Anwendung ausgesucht hat, wird diese in einem neuen Fenster geöffnet. Mozilla arbeitet gerade daran, Prism bestmöglich in den hauseigenen Browser Firefox zu integrieren und es damit zur Stanradausstattung einer zukünftigen Version zu machen. Im Moment ist Prism noch in der Entwicklung, der interessierte User hat aber die Möglichkeit, hier einen Prototyp für Windows ausprobieren. […]

Now if only Prism could handle FF add-ons, both on a per-application and a general basis. I’ll elaborate.

I like my phpMyAdmin with ‘Resizable Form Fields’ and my Gmail with ‘Better Gmail’. Now ‘Better Gmail’ is useless with phpMyAdmin, but ‘Resizable Form Fields’ can be handy with my Gmail app. Still with me? 😉

I think it’s not hard to cook up a dozen more scenarios where this would come in handy.

Rufus White wrote on November 18, 2007 at 10:39 am :

I think a lot of people are missing the point here about Prism. Prism will allow you to do more than just ‘run a webpage in it’s own window, and have a link from the desktop’ – this is not really anything new. The beauty in Prism is that it will let me code an entire program (offline, online, or both) using XUL (Mozilla’s standards based interface language) and Javascript, and I won’t need the browser open in order to see it.

The difference between Prism and AIR is that whilst AIR requires flash, and a fair bit of nifty coding to make it talk to pre-existing databases etc, all of the interface design is done in an XML based language, so it is inherently more open than using Flash. Not only this, but I assume that Prism will also allow you to also use XPCOM objects, which will let you use system-specific functions (eg. zip/unzip a file, connect to a mail server etc) from your applications.

I think the real people who will see uses for Prism are people running database-driven businesses: a single interface can be built using standard UI components in XUL, which talks to their database using XML, which will run on any platform Prism is available (I’m sure some way of using it on your mobile phone will be available soon). This clearly has huge benefits for system administrators – not least because there is absolutely no legwork in upgrading everybody in the company simultaneously to the latest version of the database interface, update it in one location and whatever platform people are using it on, it will just work.

Another benefit over flex is that XUL already has many components built with handling large amounts of data quickly in mind, whereas the AIR/Flex components, while better than they once were, are still a long way off in the speed stakes.

Anybody who has already written an extension for firefox/thunderbird will be able to (with very little/no effort) be able to use it in Prism as a standalone application, one example is FireFTP – it would be hard to imagine this working under AIR, as to my knowledge it has no built in FTP support.

Although Prism is only in the early stages of development, I’m already very excited about the possibilities, and have wasted no time in brushing up my XUL programming!

This is great. I had to run a small set of computers accessing a library catalogue. I used to use Netscape 4 in superkiosk mode, and now use Firefox with R-kiosk, but restricting access to all the unwanted functions was hard work. Its far more sensible to have a program that doesn’t include them all. Prism seems to do 90% of what I want straight out of the box.

One request, can you put a superkiosk mode in? A frameless full screen window, no title bar, just the app you want. If you are only running one program on a machine, you don’t need to advertise that its running Windows with a start bar, and if you don’t want users to close the program, don’t give them an X to click!

Look forward to seeing version 1.0

I spent some time trying to mimic a kiosk mode in a less than full screen mode and have found all the newer versions of browsers cripple this for security reasons so PRISM is spot on.

We can’t get it soon enough and it could well convince some of our clients who currently use IE to swap for the user experience.

I think it would also be good if Mozilla developed an InstallBuilder which would enable site owners to develop custom installers which integrate into Prism.

Just like we have installers for the Windows OS, Linux, etc., I believe it would be good to have them for Prism.

Doing this will make it easier to distribute web apps as desktop apps, eliminating the need for the user to specifically enter the urls and other info.

So the user goes to the site and downloads the prism installer for that particular web site or installs it straight from the web site without file downloads.

Let’s make this as easy as bookmarking.

>so please do tell me, where is the innovation?

To answer your question:

1) Prism is about enabling end users to integrate web applications into their desktop environment, the types of users who obviously are not going to start programing their own custom apps (embed mozilla in gtk, ie in visual basic, etc etc).

2) Open source projects need to be announced before they are finished to attract contributers to the project. While I personally think prism in it’s current form is an important step toward the online desktop, there are a lot of different directions the project will take in the future. I have a post up here if you are curious: http://blog.mozilla.org/faaborg/2007/10/29/prism-brainstorming/

to some, this may not be much better than a shortcut on the desktop (i’ve seen comments to that effect).

however, for me i neatly solves a problem i’ve been trying to fix. since prism strips away all the trappings of the web browser, people don’t think of themselves as being on the web. it is simply an application. also, removing all the bars and such focusses the user on what they are doing and will reduce distraction.

also, you don’t need firefox loaded on your computer for it to work.

i did find that if there is a problem with the security certificate on your website, it can’t continue.

I don’t understand they hype. I read about this on my mobile and thought wow, that’s what we need. but after arriving in the office, i was deeply disappointed. so the innovation here is… a browser without any controls? you mean like that one found on every hello world programming example? check out how to embed mozilla in gtk, ie in visual basic, etc etc. this is done in few lines of code. so please do tell me, where is the innovation? every kid in 1998 was able to do prism by himself in visual basic.

I would have expected easy to use api for offline apps with acces to a local db, distributable on a stick, cd, download, etc… but not this.

i suggest when you have these things you rename the application to something else than prism so it can catch my and many other disappointed peoples interest again.

Not that cool yet. I think you in fact do need to have the developers target this thing. Most of the web is just document delivery. There are very few ‘web apps’ out there (in comparison). You should allow the developer (if they want) to be able to target specific features in Prism, like perhaps a File Menu? That way if they take the time they get added goodies. They are developers after all, if they developed their app properly, all the information is just sitting in the cloud and can be pulled down and displayed in any way they want. So I don’t see a big issue with tailoring to Prism, AIR, or Silverlight. As long as your getting a very good usability ratio. In your case that’s making the app look more like a desktop app and not just a browser with limited navigation.

The File Menu could be as easy as loading in an XML file describing all the menus and options with attributes pointing to new pages, javascript, or whatever else. That’s just a lame example I think with some real thought you could do something amazing.

Anyways, I do realize it’s v 0.8 but I hope to see something more than just navigation-less browser windows.

I think this is a perfect solution for those who do not know alot about computers. Such as myself.
I use as many portable applications as I can. I use FF portable AND Thunderbird portable exclusively.
Still, both of these aps must be run twice for the host pc to display and use the ext’s and addons that I personally prefer. This gives rise to files left behind on host pc’s making them portable but crippled until host saves your preferences.
Would prism change this or not. If not, then I rather see no future to this other than saying one can. Even a thinstall version of an application must leave a folder behind on local pc. I suppose if when an ap was opened it created necessary folders, and then when closed it deleted them it would be TRULY portable. There are none that I know of worth mentioning here
?
I suppose I will wait and see what comes of this but rather doubt the outcome.

Eugen wrote on November 3, 2007 at 5:27 am:

Hi all,

please excuse a long post: I work as a PHP/JS programmer building apps on FF2 (and IE – see later). From my POV there are 3 different topics involved in the answers before, which need to be clearly seperated. I’ll try so:

1.) Prism vs. Silverlight vs. AIR vs WtH:
To be honest, I dimply do not give a d. about that.
The power of web-apps is to run on close to any device, OS etc. There is extensive know-how about that, most of the gaps between web-apps and classical desktop apps are already closed.
I still do not believe, that Prism, AIR and Silverlight are compareable enough to make this discussion a constructive one.

2.) “Whats the buzz”:
While Prism is not a revolution on the technical side of things, from the POV of a programmer, it’s of a giant value: We are now able to create a desktop icon for our STUPID users, that will call our webapp correctly, even if they messed up their “normal” browser settings: An URL link on the desktop will launch in IE, if the user opened IE only once and just clicked yes.
Please keep in mind, that readers of this article tend to be technically more experienced than typical users, so a “so what” for many of us, might be a “Wow” (Pun indended) for others.

3.) Gecko/Firefox/XUL bugs/limitations, that naturally appear in Prims as well:
For us, this is the most serious:
a) There is a heavy bug in [Gecko|FF|XUL]{I_do_no_know_which} that makes the cursor disappear from input fields, if another input field was made invisible while having the focus (which is bound to happen with any cute UI). Sometimes you can see the cursor blinking at the position the now invisible input field occupied (if object.style.visibility=’hidden’ + some zIndex stuff was used and not object.style.display=’none’ to hide it) the only workaround is to keep track of the visibility of EVERY single input field (as opposed to div containing many input fields) and if one becomes invisible set the focus to something, that does not change visibility before doing the actual switching (which must async, as doing the focus change and the visibility switching inside the same event won’t solve the problem).
I already posted a bug about this, but – as I can easily understand – there was not yet any action on it.
Prism seems to trigger this for GMail, which is a good thing for us, as it might help assigning this annoying bug a higher priority – yes, I am an egoist, no I do not have the C skills to fix it myself, else I would already have done so.
If this helps, I can also provide sample JS code to show the problem.

b) Startup time/Memory consumption/etc.
Yes, these issues exist. While this might be annoying, (at the time of writing, FF uses 210.864K, Thunderbird 66.724), I do not consider it that much of a problem.
To add a bit of fuel to the flame war of 1.): Let’s see, what a silverlight (or better: 11 parallell of them) app doing the same thing as running in my FF windows and tabs right now will consume – and if they will allow my machine to stay mine, not some russian spammer’s droid 😉

Best regards, Eugen
JRS wrote on November 3, 2007 at 12:28 am :

Prism is just the GUI container I have been looking for. I felt that HTA was too restrictive and a IE only solution. If your migrating old DOS applications to GUI, this is a great client as it allows your application to control the flow and not let the user get too creative like they do in a normal browser.

How is the ‘sidebar’ navigation frame suppose to work? I have search till my fingers are bloody and nothing about this feature. I assume there is some config file that defines this feature.

There are binary files in the ZIP based application bundles and I wonder how they are created. (by Prism ?)

“IF” there be a right approach in designing and distributing this thing, it would help and may affect web-developing things.

and if i kill that single xulrunner process, guess what? it killed all three of my -individual- Prism apps … same behavior as if i launched multiple browser windows.

granted, the memory footprint is small, but i can achieve that with Opera or K-Meleon.

Pingback from Prism for Web Apps on October 31, 2007 at 4:18 pm:

[…] I recently came across an endevor by Mozilla Labs called Prism. Well it WAS named WebRunner but is now called Prism. It basically allows you to package websites into single applications. For example instead of opening a whole browser with Plug-ins, Bookmarks and the like to update your blog. You create an application using Prism and then you have a single window to edit your blog in.

Apart from giving you a more convenient way of launching your web applications it also runs as a separate process than your ordinary web browser. This means that if your web browser crashes or is bogged down with all your tabs, your web application is still safe in it’s own process. Another feature is that you can reach your web application faster than via your web browser. […]

and if i kill that single xulrunner process, guess what? it killed all three of my “individual” Prism apps – same behavior as if i launched multiple browser windows.

granted, the memory footprint is small, but i can achieve that with Opera or K-Meleon.

I think you’re missing the point about AIR if you think Adobe is trying to develop a “proprietary” app that will “replace the web”. AIR has full support for JavaScript/AJAX and HTML, and it takes nothing more than a simple XML file to move an application from the browser into AIR. AIR has been developed to meet the growing need that Mozilla obviously acknowledges by creating Prism.

AIR also has first class presence on the desktop and embeds the SQLite database.

Those corrections aside, I think Prism sounds really cool, it addresses a need, and I like the idea of being able to run any site or web app in its own application window based on my preferences (not the developer’s configuration of an XML file), but right now it’s little more than a chromeless browser window, and I don’t think it really has any edge over AIR yet either.

It is only in office that i have it and I have no personal computer at home. I might buy it soon, but until then I would have to go through these tiny difficulties. Nevertheless, all these days I have been feeling a little guilty. I haven’t studied much either. I planned to learn J2EE and get my hands wet with the server side technologies. I haven’t done much of it, and I just started reading a book on Java. Keeping all that aside, I managed to get grab some interesting news on the RIA front. Adobe AIR, Silverlight and other similar technologies, have a new competitor facing them now. It is called Prism by Mozilla.To quote a few lines from their website “Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we’re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web. We think the web is a powerful and open platform for this sort of innovation, so our goal is to identify and facilitate the development of enhancements that bring the advantages of desktop apps to the web platform.” But inspite of that sentence, the difference between Adobe AIR and similar technologies and Mozilla Prism isn’t very clear. The difference I am emphasizing is on the technology perspective not on who is owning what. At this point I cannot exactly say that the two are competing technologies. I guess I need a little more insight into Prism. It definitely sounds promising, and I am looking towards gaining more information on it. I am not sure about the language in which it is build…Python may be,…I am not too sure. I haven’t installed Prism as yet..but I guess I should go ahead and do that now. Another news this week is about the very popular GMail. GMail is now talking about its new GMail 2.0. A little googling and you can find some interesting snapshots. Well thats it for now..will write more soon. […]

PUBBLICITÀ PUBBLICITÀ Come dice lo stesso progetto, le pagine saranno percepite dal sistema come applicazioni, gestibili ad esempio in Exposè.

[…] I just came across this post on Ajaxian. Pretty neat, but kind of useless. In my opinion, i can do the same thing by just saving a shortcut to a website on the desktop. There isn’t much stuff that are brand new or too excited here. Just like that mentioned on the post, comparing to Adobe AIR, it just lacks on the ability to talk to the OS natively. To be, it is nothing but a Firefox that’s compact and compiled to run only one site. Mozilla has announced a new application that has been placed in Labs called Prism. Prism takes WebRunner and let’s it integrate nicely into the target operating system.This means that you can take any web site that you currently visit a lot, and place it in its own process, and you can launch it like any other application. It sits on your desktop for you to run. A modest goal. […]

when clicking the external link, the prism try to open the link in one exist defaul browser window.
but the exist defaul browser window is working for other things….all form data will lose..

so I think the external link windows should open one real NEW window, like the manner “shift+click” in IE.

This is a really good effort. However, I find that AIR starts faster than Prism. May be the stable release would be fast.

The argument that Prism is no different from IE window without toolbar is baseless. If that is the case I can say AIR is no different from a projector .exe file.

There is no official release of AIR and Silverlight for Linux right now. On 29 October, 2007, I see a linux version of prism too.

Someone argue that CANVAS may not be made available by MS. The same argument applies to flash and silverlight formats. They use non-standard file formats.

This Mike Chambers from Adobe is here only to promote AIR before Prism gains ground.

For me, this would be really useful if I could effectively bundle up Firefox as a single .exe/.app package and distribute it to user which would launch the “application” and be taken directly to our web application start page straight away. No messy installs, no “Administrator rights required to run this”, etc. etc. tom

Puhleez!! this really isn’t worth my time.

I could have whipped out my Delphi or VC# IDE and written this app in the time it’s taken me to read this hyperbolic article and the sycophantic comments following it.

Un-friggin-believable.

Clearly, Mozilla has lots of bored developers. The smart thing to do would have been to add this functionality to Firefox, which I love to bits BTW, and create a simple API for developers to use to securely deploy their web apps onto users’ desktops/browsers for easy launching and an un-cluttered runtime environment. Dayamn! What that could do for Firefox… Hell, I’d be pushing Firefox into our corporate clients that use our web apps!

But to deploy a fat client application, just to run thin-client web apps, is just, well, redundant. And to generate this kind of hype over something so patently retarded is just, well, irresponsible.

To all those complaining about how is this different from xxxx based on Internet Explorer – and whats the difference from just having a new tab open in FF.

1) CROSS PLATFORM – article states Mac + Linux builds available soon. I can see some huge benefits for Prism on both of these OS’s.

2) Why better than a FF tab? Because you can kill your regular browser without having to reopen your regular applications. FF has more memory leaks than a sieve – try not closing the FF browser for a week and then see how much memory it’s using.

3) Is it better than AIR? Who cares. It might be, it might not be. But it’s a very nice addition to the open source development stack!

4) Why the excitement? If you’ve ever tried to customize Mozilla with XUL you’ll already understand how Prism could be a much better option! Developing an embedded browser designed to work exclusively with a single web application….

and don’t even get me started on using Prism to deliver Kiosk based services – something traditionally in the domain of IE, there are a *LOT* of possibilities here.

I used to do a lot of cross platform thin client web based development and kiosk development, Prism would have saved me hours and hours of headaches and problems if it was around three years ago! Instead I spent two months toiling around with Mozilla XUL and eventually giving up the R+D and just licensing a competitively priced piece of Windows kiosk software.

@mike chambers,
Push AIR for Linux and maybe so many geeks wouldn’t be so excited about an alternative. The cycle doesn’t end. We don’t have AIR because Flash was late in coming.

By the way this news hasn’t changed for months. Anything new you can tell us about AIR for Linux?

1.11 Does Adobe AIR support Linux?

Adobe AIR 1.0 will not be available on Linux. We plan to release Linux support shortly after the 1.0. release.

While we had originally planned to support Linux in the 1.0 timeframe, we have had to wait on the core Flash Player’s support for Linux to be finalized.

[…] Désolé si je ne vous fais pas un article détaillé sur XULrunner, nombreux sont ceux qui ont une expertise sur le sujet, mais pas moi ! Pour caricaturer et vulgariser, XUL est le coeur de Firefox et Thunderbird, et permet de construire des applications complètes à l’aide des technologies Web. C’est, en quelque sorte, l’ancètre des R.I.A. (vous savez, notre futur informatique !), comme Adobe AIR (pour ceux qui connaissent) : il s’agit de faire d’un site web une application à part entière, comme si, et c’est l’exemple utilisé par Adobe, Ebay n’était pas un site web que vous consultez dans votre navigateur, mais un programme installé dans votre ordinateur. Mozilla s’est lancé dans l’aventure, en permettant à n’importe quel site web de devenir une application : il s’agit de Mozilla Prism, que j’ai essayé pour vous. J’ai essayé de transformer quelques uns des outils Google que je pratique au quotidien, comme GMail, Google Agenda ou Google Docs. Hélas, il n’y a eu que GMail à fonctionner une fois sauvegardé… Pour les autres, il m’a fallu à chaque fois rentrer à nouveau les URLs des outils : un échec partiel donc. Je trouve par opposition très réussi le logiciel TomTom Home (logiciel pour les GPS TomTom), qui lors de sa mise à jour est devenu une application fonctionnant à l’aide de XULrunner !

It’s not about removing the toolbars or creating an icon. It’s about running it in a separate process. The toolbar and icon are window dressing (no pun intended). If you tried it and didn’t find it any faster than a browser tab, then either (1) you didn’t try it long enough, or (2) you don’t use the browser heavily enough. Try to use GMail, Google Docs and Google Reader in three browser tabs vs. three Prism windows and you’ll see what we mean.

A few comments, for Prism, in general, and re:AIR.

I think that if Prism can address the following it would be useful:
1) FF JS memory issues. (REALLY IMPORTANT)
2) startup time (also REALLY IMPORTANT)
3) before it becomes a problem, PLEASE let’s standardize the offline web technology (AIR, Gears, FF3, Silverlight1.1, what else?)
4) Make this part of FF3.

It feels like in round 1 (Web 1.0), IE killed NS. In round 2 (Web 2.0), FF pushed IE into a draw. And the offline/desktop web will probably be round 3 / Web 3.0, altho no media journalist seems to see it coming (they talk about the semantic web, which is probably round 5/6).

Imo, AIR does seem to be the same thing except that it’s proprietary, further along in development than Prism, and relies on a Opera/Webkit browser rather than a FF/Gecko browser, and requires slightly more effort than a Prism app (yeah, it’s ‘just one XML file’, but that’s been said about so many other technologies). The documentation is more obscure for a non-Adobe-tool-user than it really ought to be. (Where’s your “app in 5 minutes” Youtube link on the main site?, instead of being 3-4 links away?)

Miguel de Icaza wrote on October 27, 2007 at 10:27 am :

I applaud the efforts of Prism, but it seems that you are confused about what AIR is and what Silverlight is.

Some other posters have already pointed out the AIR issues. Silverlight is merely Microsoft version of Flash: a technology to spice up existing web applications.

And to make things more interesting, Silverlight has two implementations: one created by Microsoft which is proprietary and one created by the Mono team which is open source.

Am not sure that the debate over a “proprietary platform” has much value in this context either.

If the guidelines is having an open source stack, then Silverlight has an open source implementation and as such its open.

If the guideline is that it must have a stamp-of-approval of some standards orgranization for its specification, then XUL is as proprietary as Silverlight is (no standard organization has declared it a standard).

It seems that the only possible scenario where Silverlight might be more closed is because the upcoming version will allow binary blobs for compiled code (not the one available today). But the binary blobs for compiled code happen to be an ISO and ECMA standards.

So I guess “View Source” is the only thing that you could complain Silverlight lacks. I think this can be solved by adding a contextual menu to Moonlight that can show you the XAML file (this is plain text) or invoke Reflector on the downloaded assembly to see its source code.

No magic there.

Pingback from Mozilla: dai Mozilla Labs arriva Prism | Stalkk.ed on October 27, 2007 at 7:12 am:

[…] Mentre Mozilla prepara il rilascio del Firefox 3, nome in codice “Gran Paradiso”, i Mozilla Labs annunciano la disponibilità di Prism, una piattaforma software che consente di lanciare applicazioni web come Google Mail o Facebook come se si trattasse di applicazioni desktop, ed all’interno di finestre separate del desktop medesimo. Attraverso Prism, Mozilla cerca di cancellare la linea di demarcazione che separa le applicazioni web dalle tradizionali desktop applications, creando di fatto un ponte tra le due tipologie applicative. I Mozilla Labs dichiarano di stare esplorando nuovi modelli di usabilità delle interfacce applicative, e da esperimenti condotti con WebRunner (un browser basato sul XULRunner e soprannominato “distraction free browser”) è nato Prism. Ma non si tratta di una nuova piattaforma proprietaria che vuole sostituire il web, sottolinea Mozilla, bensì di uno strumento che intende unificare due mondi non poi così nettamente separati: il desktop ed il web.

I think the idea is fine, but why separate it from Firefox? I’d rather just have an option in Firefoxe to open a link into a “prism” just like I can open to a new tab. You could set things up such that desktop shortcuts launch directly into such a window as well, so it would just be another type of window for firefox.

With the way things are in prism, it’s almost 100% overlap with firefox, but it’s another app to maintain, keep track of version setting, security settings, etc, etc.
brentp wrote on October 26, 2007 at 5:17 am:

‘Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight’

Yes, Prism is completely unlike either, it is a web browser without the navigation and restricted to one URL.

On one hand I can certainly see a use for this for some web apps, but on the other I can’t help feeling that taking account of ‘back/forward’ is PART of developing for the web as much as working with the request/response model and if your app breaks when they are used, there’s likely much bigger problems in the code.

I fail to see the usefulness of this. All I would get is a browser window without ANY menu bar, which on its own looks odd. This might start to get useful when websites start implementing proper menu bars, like Microsoft Dynamics does. Till then its just an odd looking web browser window for me. And I would prefer all the subsequent windows that I open from a web page to group together in the app, instead of cluttering my taskbar.

I feel that this takes a shot at the tabbed browsing feature of the browsers. And for people like me who would be working on multiple apps simultaneously, a cluttered taskbar is a major headache.

fenin wrote on October 26, 2007 at 4:08 am :

Well said Mike.

Adobe AIR and M$ Silverlight are not even comparable. You may compare Silverlight with Adobe Flash.AIR wont “replace” the web. It allows web developers to leverage on their existing skills in HTML,Javascript etc., and create applications targeted specifically for desktop.AIR enhances the web experience and takes it out of the browser.

As far as i understand, all Prism does is to render webpages (or webapps) without Firefox’s native buttons and menus.
Is that the case or do you have anything more than that?
theboyofspewn wrote on October 26, 2007 at 3:57 am:

I don’t understand how this is any different from Adobe AIR. Some explanation would be nice, instead of mindless jabs at large corporations without having your facts straight.

I have been working with AIR since the beginning, and they need better marketing for it to get rid of confusion. The problem has been that their Flex/Flash team has been more on the ball when it comes to AIR than their HTML/JavaScript/CSS team. AIR is, and always has been, about bringing web applications to the desktop, not replacing the web. There is nothing proprietary about it, other than it is being created by Adobe. The majority of the development environments are open-source, including Flex, with only Flash not open source. But Flex builds Flash-type applications, so that doesn’t matter.

And for those that think it will be a huge hassle to convert to AIR, all you need is an xml file, and the AIR framework.

Of course, a nice feature of Prism, as described, is the ability to convert apps to Prism apps at the touch of a button, without the creator doing anything to leverage the desktop. Though, an added feature of AIR, which places it well out of competition with Prism (as described here) is that AIR has full access to both Web-based storage, and desktop based storage. The developer can develop an AIR app to leverage the desktop specifically, but can also simply port their web-app over to the desktop.

Well Im guessing this will be very useful for below average computer user and to gain Mozilla some more users. Not everyone knows how to put hyperlinks on their desktops.
Its also useful for people who like the chrome gone. Popups offer this yes but rarely any sites do. I would also suggest all the ideas Chirag offered. Boot up time is my main concern though. IE has always beat Mozillas boot up time. I dont think your normal addons should be present automatically either. You should have the option to enable them but give a warning that it may slow down boot time. But as I said before get it quick and people will use it. Also you guys really need to fix how much RAM firefox takes up after long use. Im not gonna be running Gmail or anything under this and have to restart it because I get up to 100mgs in RAM.

Your “best of both worlds” table is a little out on the Desktop site, IMHO.

Update process verbose? “apt-get update && apt-get upgrade” How is that verbose? OK, it’s not *quite* as clean as not having to do *anything*, but it’s close. In face, if you consider that you ought to keep your Desktop OS up-to-date anyway, then updating your apps can be completely free.

Data not in the cloud? Hmmm…..strange. Most of the apps I use, being based on KDE, can access files via http, ftp, scp, ssh and a whole lot more with exactly the same ease that they can access local files. I’m pretty sure there are KIO slaves done or under development that can use gmail for storage too.

Just because the desktop system you use might be stuck in the ’90s, that doesn’t mean there aren’t more modern things out there that already do a lot of the things you’re looking for.

Chirag wrote on October 25, 2007 at 9:50 pm :

I just installed it to try out my website. It’s a video site in Flash (think TV-in-a-browser) and a good candidate to test out Prism. I read the article and the linked blogs and here’s what I think are the main issues:

1. Seriously long load time: I have a powerful PC (dual quad-core, 4gb ram, XP x64, scsi raid) and this thing took over 10s just to launch. Closing and opening again didn’t help speed things up. Loading the website was same speed as new tab in Firefox2.

2. Once you’ve created a “webapp”, there seems to be no way to edit the settings other than editing the webapp.ini in C:Documents and Settings[username]Application DataPrismProfiles[weird-chars].defaultwebappsexample.com@prism.app

3. Needs some desktop features to make it more useful than a new tab in Firefox: minimize to tray, true full screen, always stay-on-top option, borderless/no-titlebar mode, transparency option. These options are pretty easy to do in Windows (like my old app Glass2k: http://chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml from way back when).

4. Would be great if you could right-click on the shortcut of the webapp, click Properties and edit its settings in a new tab next to General and Shortcut.

5. Needs keyboard shortcut keys. If they are present, I can’t find them. Keyboard for full screen, minimize to tray, stay on top etc. would be great.

6. It does remember windows position like a good Windows app. However, if it’s maximized on monitor 2 and closed, it reopens in monitor 1 maximized.

Since my site is all Flash, I haven’t tested any DOM/HTML operations. I’m guessing since it’s Gecko engine, it would work well. The installation was smooth and I’d much rather use a Gecko engine than AIR/Apollo for desktop webapps.

I haven’t even started to make my site accessible on AIR because it just seems like such a huge process. I was always to build a webapp within 30s of installing Prism so you guys definitely have the right foundation to start on.

I understand making neat local-storage features would be great but as a regular user, I’d much rather see more OS/desktop integration features instead initially. Eventually 2d/3d hardware acceleration would encourage games and more CAD-stuff but till then, at least give users/devs a good reason to install Prism.

More power to ya!

bex: I don’t quite understand how Prism is a replacement for XUL, given that Prism isn’t a user interface language, and you can use XUL inside Prism. Can you explain further?

Regarding Flash, as far as I know it isn’t an open enough standard (most significantly, it is controlled by one organization), and some web standards bodies move faster than others, f.e. the WHATWG has been more speedily putting together many interesting specifications that various browser vendors have been busily implementing (including one for canvas!).

Not to be glib, but there are more reasons than this why people want AIR or Silverlight… I see Prism as a replacement for XUL; not a competitor to AIR.

The web is great, but its a lowest-common-denominator. Web standards bodies are slower than molasses, and because of the delay they make standards that nobody uses, or that languish (*cough* VRML *cough*)

Plus, if you extend the web with stuff like CANVAS, and Microsoft doesn’t follow suit, web developers are stuck maintaining at least two very different code bases… one web app for Firefox/Prism, one for IE.

If you want flash, why not just use Flash? Its an open “enough” standard, isn’t it?

she: There are Python XPCOM bindings for Mozilla, which would make it possible to use Python in chrome code (i.e. the code implementing Prism) if you were to rebuild Prism with those bindings enabled.

But I don’t think those bindings make it possible to use Python in web content running in Prism. But there’s a project called IronMonkey to implement Python support in the next-generation Tamarin JS runtime. See for example this blog post for more info.

looks promising but i guess it is a very very very long way to go….

ideally, what I personally am much more interested in, would be to use another scripting language (python or ruby) instead of javascript. but i guess prism is a (small) step in a right direction

Justin: we have builds in hand, but they have bugs too big to release them yet, and Mark Finkle, the primary developer, is currently away at a conference. I’m hoping we’ll be able to provide those builds by next week.

pd: au contraire, we don’t do anything to close the web platform. We simply provide you with a dedicated window to an application running on that platform. It’s the same as if you had opened a new window in Firefox and loaded the application there, but without the browser chrome to get in your way.

The JS chrome-less popup window comes full circle 🙁

“We believe the web is an open plaform …” but this just closes it to one website at a time.

Yay!

Awesome! Nice to see this finally come to fruition. When will OS X and Linux builds be available?

This is interesting work, but I am curious about a comment you make here:

—
Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we’re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web.
—

Yet, then you describe Prism as:

—
Prism isn’t a new platform, it’s simply the web platform integrated into the desktop experience. Web developers don’t have to target it separately, because any application that can run in a modern standards-compliant web browser can run in Prism. Prism is built on Firefox, so it supports rich internet technologies like HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and and runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

And while Prism focuses on how web apps can integrate into the desktop experience, we’re also working to increase the capabilities of those apps by adding functionality to the Web itself, such as providing support for offline data storage and access to 3D graphics hardware.
—

You could describe Adobe AIR in exactly the same way.

So, is the main difference between something like Prism and Adobe AIR, that Adobe AIR is being primarily developed by a company (Adobe), and that Prism is being developed by Mozilla?

i.e. Adobe AIR is built on top of web standards and can run existing web applications and content. It runs on Windows and Mac (and soon Linux), and it also provides additional desktop functionality.

Btw, I don’t see any information on Adobe’s site suggesting Adobe AIR is meant to “replace the web”, but, as you ackowledge here, there are some apps that may provide a better experience if they are running out of the browser, and closer to the desktop.
