Mozilla Labs Launches Prism 1.0 beta

Posted by Melissa Shapiro

May 8th, 2009 · Mozilla Community, Mozilla News

Editor’s note: Mozilla Labs released Prism 1.0 beta today. Check out Matthew Gertner’s blog post on the Mozilla Labs blog, excerpted below.

Today we are pleased to announce the release of the beta version of Prism 1.0. It’s the culmination of more than a year of real-world use by companies like Yahoo! Zimbra, DesignLinks International and many others.

Tens of thousands of end users have installed Prism-enabled sites. Based on their feedback, as well as the experience of website creators, we’ve added new features to bring the user experience of web apps even closer to that of their desktop counterparts. We are particularly excited by these features because they’ve been informed by the many real-world applications currently using Prism:

* New API functionality for allowing Prism-enabled web sites more desktop like power.
* Ability to set fonts, proxy settings and other application-specific settings.
* The ability to clear private data on demand.
* Applications are automatically updated when new Prism versions are available.
* Tray icon support, as well as submenus for dock and system tray menus.
* Full OS X 10.4 support, and further OS X specific enhancement.
* Support for SSL exceptions.

You can find out more about Prism 1.0 beta and download the standalone version and Firefox extension from our new Prism website at prism.mozilla.com.

    [...] Cabe mencionar que, si nuestro sistema operativo es Windows 7, posiblemente nos resulte más cómodo utilizar a Mozilla Prism antes que su equivalente de Google Chrome. Esto lo decimos porque cuando abrimos una webapp instalada a través de Chrome, Windows 7 pensará que se trata de una instancia del navegador de Google, y por consiguiente lo asociará al ícono de Chrome en la barra de tareas. De tal manera que esto no ocurre con Mozilla Prism, ya que se trata de una herramienta totalmente independiente de Mozilla Firefox.
