For future reference, Prisim, much like this post, is old and obsoleted 🙂 it was intended as a way that more or less gave users an icon to put on the desktop that only opened and used one ‘application’ (website). The intent was to give sites like Gmail a face and psuedo-presence on the computer, i.e. an icon, like Outlook. Eventually Mozilla shelved it because of… um… not sure.
