Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi,
On firefox (gutsy), the mime type for jnlp files is not registered with java web start launcher so when I'm clicking on a jnlp link, I can just save it on the disk or browse to find an application (not easy to find where is the bin for java web start...).

Notice: If I save the jnlp on the disk, a double-click open java web start.

You can test with the demos of this page: https://openjfx.dev.java.net/#demos

thanks
