Can thrown weapons be used while prone, including an Alchemist's bombs?

Prone: The character is lying on the ground. A prone attacker has a –4 penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot use a ranged weapon (except for a crossbow). A prone defender gains a +4 bonus to Armor Class against ranged attacks, but takes a –4 penalty to AC against melee attacks.
By ranged weapon, is the prone condition disallowing the use of anything classified as a ranged weapon according to the weapon table, which would allow k-blast, bombs, melee weapons with a range increment etc. or is it all encompassing for ranged attacks?
