Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox should know what jnlp files are. (They are Java web start files)
When clicking a jnlp link firefox opens a dialog where I can browse to a program to open it with, or save it to the disk.
Firefox should know it opens with /usr/bin/javaws
You can't expect end users to know this. It's the same for konqueror

I've found on [1] that Firefox can be configured to use it adding following entry to file `~/.mozilla/ firefox/ *.default/ mimeTypes. rdf':
<RDF:Description about=" urn:mimetype: externalApplica tion:applicatio n/x-java- jnlp-file" "/usr/bin/ javaws" e="javaws" />
RDF:
NC:path=
NC:prettyNam
But I don't see any change with and without that, on both it asks to use either `Java Web Start application' or download it.
