You may want to adjust the values of left and top as needed.Д«onus Tip: If you have 'Show your windows and tabs from last time' enabled, when you exit and restart Firefox with the dedicated window open, it is also restored. When you open this bookmarklet, it will open the site in a separate dedicated window. This is optional, but it removes the disabled location bar at the top of the window.Д¬reate a bookmarklet (that's really just a regular bookmark but executes Javascript): javascript:(function())() Go to about:config and set dom.disable_window_open_feature.location to false. (I have not experimented with desktop shortcuts, but it might be possible.) You can sort-of do this now, with a small config change and a bookmarklet. But if all you're looking for is a dedicated window for your web-app through Firefox, it's a good solution. Hopefully they fix these in future FF versions. These caveats make the SSB solution less than ideal right now.

The web app's window doesn't remember its last position and size.

(Application-specific right-click menus still work, since these are part of the website's own code, not from the browser itself.) This really hampers usability since you cannot copy, paste, refresh page, etc.

There's no standard right-click context menu - not even on text fields.

If you had already enabled notifications via Firefox main window you may get them, however if you've never enabled it, I'm not sure if you can enable it from the SSB window.

(I suppose the icon may not change either.) This is bad for web-apps that change the title to indicate something. If you had already set Zoom level in Firefox main window, it doesn't carry to the SSB window. Sometimes you'd stare at a blank window and wonder what's happening. There's no 'Loading' progress indicator in the SSB window.

Since the Site-Specific Browser (SSB) feature is disabled (off) by default, it might be experimental.

(If you want the icon to remain in the taskbar, right-click it and click 'Pin to taskbar'.) Caveats: Also, some workarounds have been suggested. It was mentioned that web application support in Firefox is currently in progress. In the following question: Why is Firefox Prism not in the repositories anymore?, there are two useful answers, regarding the discontinue of Prism and possible alternatives and solutions. There were several alternatives to Prism, but it seems that all of them have been discontinued and are no longer active or available for download. On February 1, 2011, Mozilla labs announced it would no longer maintain Prism. However, since November 2010, Prism is listed as an inactive project at the Mozilla labs website.
