Bookmark as launcher [released]

Apps are great for some stuff, but lots of things would be better suited for pure html5 over http. It would be great if bookmarks could be added as launchers. That way some of the distinction between native apps and web-apps would be erased.
Streaming services such as radio or grooveshark is an example of resources that could be used this way. Especially if there's now sailfish app available for them.
To be useful this requires that more than one concurrent browser "process" could be started, but that's a separate issue.
Good suggestion. I think that the browser would need some improvements too, especially when it comes to rendering websites, zoom, landscape and available settings but I understand that it's a lot of work. Native firefox + Bookmark launchers would be ideal.
