This is another problem (well, to my knowledge) described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/518422

Basically, what you need to do is to remove the compatibility.ini file before firefox starts (it'll get re-created). Mine was in: .prism/gmail/<profile>.default/ where <profile> is a unique obscure string for you.

I created a quick script to remove it each time I launch gmail prism:
---
#!/bin/bash

# workaround for lp:518422 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/518422)
/bin/rm ~/.prism/gmail/<censored>.default/compatibility.ini
/usr/bin/prism-google-mail
---
The remaining problem I've got with prism now is that outside links are opened in the prism window instead of the default browser (bug #224849).
