In yesterday’s article, I offered a gentle reminder that Google Chrome isn’t the only way to “app” a web site. Mozilla’s Prism has been around for quite some time.
In that post, I used WhatsUp Gold as an example of a site that works with Prism but not with Chrome.
Turns out there’s a small wrinkle I missed: Prism doesn’t appear to allow pop-ups (I’ve created the shortcut via the Firefox extension). WhatsUp displays notifications via pop-ups.
You can see the conflict.
Now, surely there’s a config file somewhere that I can edit to allow pop-ups, right? I don’t have the stand-alone Prism installed at the moment, but I could’ve sworn it allowed pop-ups…
Any tips or suggestions?

Hey, I figured an easy way to allow pop-ups (at least when creating Prism apps through Firefox.) Just drop into the Prefs menu, and allow pop-ups from the site your app is based on. Of course this is only limited to links that are from the same site, but hey, it’s useful for my flash apps and whatnot.
