Was it Prism?

That was a project to make it easy to make site specific browser IIRC.

Yes, I think it was. I think some people used it to create custom "chromes" for Gecko, hence the confusion.

edit: Funny enough, the continuation project for Prism was named "Chromeless": https://github.com/mozilla/chromeless

Because IIRC in old Mozilla Chrome was a project name that was the UI layer of Firefox. Chromeless basically just mean Firefox without UI for other applications to built on top.
