No significant difference. Both refer to a type of sausage which is finely ground, cured beef or pork, usually seasoned with garlic and parika, and always sold precooked.
The origin of the sausage type is not clear, and the different names refer to the two cities which claim it. "Frankfurter" refers to Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, while "Wiener" refers to Vienna, Austria ("Wein" in German). Both have produced such sausages for centuries, and it may simply be a case of the same thing developing in different places nearly the same time. (Some say that a wiener should be all pork, but that's not a universal standard.)
The term "hot dog", the usual American name, is also of unclear origin. Apparently Frankfurters (the people from the city, not the sausage) nicknamed them "Dachshundwurst" after short-legged hound that they resemble. While that name has fallen out of use, the Americanized nickname, which is derived from that, remains widely used.
