Thomas Claburn writes in Information Week,“Prism is a Firefox plug-in, and a stand-alone application, that allows users to generate desktop versions of Web applications. With the plug-in, Firefox users can select the "Convert Website to Application" command from the Tools menu and immediately convert a Web app like Google Docs into a stand-alone application.
The result is a Google Docs icon can be used to launch the application from the quick launch bar or to launch the application automatically at start-up. Generated Web apps of this sort can also be associated Web link actions, thus allowing mailto: links to launch a Prism version of Gmail rather than, say, a traditional desktop app like Outlook.
