Looking for Mozilla Prism Stable PPA

**dh04000** · May 12th, 2011

I have a firefox stable ppa, that keeps my firefox and thunderbird installions updated with stable releases. But, I can't seem to find Prism in a stable ppa.

Anyone know where to find that?

I'd like to create an Angry Birds desktop shortcut based on the newest prism, which should be firefox 4.0 based, which supports html5 well.

I'm on Lucid.

Anyone know. I'd like to test this with the newest Prism, so I could write up a guide for it.

Prism is no longer developed by Mozilla Labs.

What's my alternative?

Chrome/Chromium.

Hmmmmm..... I was hoping for something non-browser specific. But, I did some research on my own, and I found that there really isn't any alternative than chrome until mozilla's chromeless project comes to fruition.

Too Bad. A desktop launcher for Angry Birds would have been sexy.

You could just create a standard desktop launcher pointing at the address of Angry Birds. But that would only open a standard FF window and not an application window like Prism would have. I am a bit disappointed that development of Prism didn't continue past FF 3.6.

Prism is no longer developed by Mozilla Labs, although this documentation will still be useful to those using WebRunner (see next paragraph). There are now two alternatives:
The Prism code was picked up by Matthew Gertner who started a company to continue its open source development under the name WebRunner. See his blog post at http://www.salsitasoft.com/blog/2011...-applications/
Mozilla Labs itself started a new project called Chromeless. See their blog post at http://mozillalabs.com/blog/2011/02/...ow-chromeless/

I found that too and have just been playing with Webrunner. I installed it and it instantly killed my FF profile. Some reading is required me thinks.

I will admit that I use Chromium just so I can have a desktop app to access Webmin on my server, that is all I use it for.
