Prism for Firefox 3.5, Candidate Builds

July 9, 2009 – 11:13 pm

I’ve built new versions of Prism based on the same Gecko 1.9.1 sources as Firefox 3.5. I also updated the Prism for Firefox extension so it runs on Firefox 3.5. I’d like to get these onto the official Prism site as soon as possible, but would appreciate if interested folks could give them a quick spin beforehand and let me know if they run into any problems.

I’m traveling right now, and my Linux setup is having some issues that prevent me from using it remotely. So for now I’m only posting builds for Mac and Windows. If someone Linux-savvy wants to volunteer to give me some quick technical support on IRC, that would help me to get the Linux build up as well. (Or if someone else wants to build it, I can explain how to do so.)

  2. I’ve just tried the standalone version for Windows and as far as I see everything works fine!

  3. Vista 64 on a amd turion X2 and firefox 3.5 seems to work fine. It did fail to convert the favicon.ico on pandora.com to the “native format”, but that’s not a big deal.

    Thank you for the work you’ve done so far on this project and please keep up the good work.

  4. Just tried the 1.0b2 version with youtube. It seems to work fine, but…when I click a link, it opens the link in my default webbrowser as it would like being a link in an e-mail.

  5. Is it possible to create a complete client side application using HTML 5 (it will embed chat clients, stock ticker) + javascript, and then bundle is with underlines Firefox 3.5 engine, so that user can install it as a desktop app on linux, and then it runs in own window using firefox 3.5 engine. The app will store everything in localstorage – like urls, usernames etc, and will interact with any local server. If we can create a client side app and then create the desktop app with prism, can we package it for installation on some other syste,

  6. Girish, it sounds to me like Prism will do what you want, although this will require a certain amount of client-side development.

  7. Hi,
    I’ve just tried out the stand-alone Windows version and it seems to be working fine – it fixed an issued I was having because the previous version was out of date.
    Looking forward to using it for a web-app we are writing!
    Cheers.

  8. Hi,
    I have some suggestions/questions about Prism:

    - could it be possible to get the translation data from Firefox in order to get a basic translation of Prism ?
    - where can I find a changelog or releases notes for 1.0b2 ?
    - where I can I find developper doc on features like popup alerts or context menus ?
    - is it now possible to easily change Prism window dimensions without editing webrunner.jar ? (maybe it is written in the doc)

    Thanks for all :)

  9. In Tools->Add-ons the “Themes” option has disappeared.
    Is it now possible to include the Aero theme on a certain Prism installation?

    TIA.

  10. I’ve tried the standalone and plugin versions, separated and altogether, and they worked fine. Very fine also because prism ran faster. Always a nice work.

  11. Is there a 64 bit version of prism ?

    By nicklas on Nov 3, 2009

  12. Currently we have only a 32-bit build.
