+Prism is a simple XULRunner-based browser that hosts web applications without
+the normal web browser user interface. Prism is based on a concept called
+Site-Specific Browsers (SSB). An SSB is designed to work exclusively with a
+single web application. It doesn't have the menus, toolbars and other
+accoutrements of a traditional web browser. An SSB also offers tighter
+integration with the operating system and desktop than a typical web
+application running through a web browser. Applications running in an SSB are
+therefore able to benefit from many of the advantages of the desktop and of
+the web at the same time.
+
+Benefits:
+ * separate proecesses
+ * minimal user interface
+ * basic desktop integration
+ * customization
+
+This is a repackaged version of the official Mozilla Prism tarball.
