Firefoxit, Firefox Widgets
by 4 othersNote that Firefoxit only takes about 400 to 600 Kb of RAM for each widget. It doesn't add extra processes like Dashboard or Konfabulator. Firefoxit is a Firefox extension that puts tiny little widgets or web applications on a kind of desktop launched from Firefox. Firefoxit has been tested on Windows XP (Firefox, Flock), 2000, NT, 98, Linux and Mac OSx86, for Firefox versions from 1.0 to 1.5. Let me know if it works (or it doesn't) on other platforms. Widgets can be loaded from any website. They are named with a .fire extension. Just clicking them on Firefox will detect them and load them. Try it after you install the extension with the Gmail widget:
