Create desktop applications from web pages using Mozilla Prism

junky-prism.gifThere 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.
