How to Run Mozilla Prism on Windows Vista

Mozilla Firefox is a free Web browser that has added functionality through add-ons and extensions. The Prism extension is free to download and install, and allows you to create shortcuts to your favorite Web applications right on your desktop or in the Applications folder. You then click the shortcut icon to launch the application in Prism rather than having to navigate to it in the Firefox browser.

Instructions

1. Download and install the Prism Firefox extension (see Resources).

2. Click "Start," "All Programs" and "Mozilla Firefox."

3. Enter the URL of the Web application you wish to run directly from your desktop.

4. Click "Tools" from the top menu, then click "Create Application for this Website" from the drop-down menu. The Web Application window launches with the URL and name of the application automatically populated from the website.

5. Check the box next to "Desktop" to create a desktop shortcut to the application. Check the box next to "Applications Folder" to create a shortcut to the application in the Applications folder.

6. Click the "OK" button to create the shortcut.

7. Double-click the application icon that you just created from the desktop or Applications folder. The application launches in Prism.
