Open source site-specific browser


Here is what I want to do, very simply:

I want to put a URL into a Mozilla Prism (or some alternative), then be provided with an icon on my desktop that when I click it a window opens and the page is displayed. The process for this instance of Prism should be completely independent of any other Prism "applications" that are running.

Prism looks like it does this exactly, but I'm running Fedora 12 x86_64 and I can't get it to work, so I'm wondering if there are any alternatives to Prism.

According to wikipedia, this type of appication is called a site-specific browser.


Solution

  • Mozilla Prism became Chromeless, and WebRunner. both discontinued

    Chromeless is Mozilla's new projects, as seen here

    WebRunner is (was, apparently) here
