Running jnlp files in Linux while using Firefox

Often we reach up to some web pages where browser (Firefox) denies to run jnlp files automatically and asks for options either to select appropriate program from the available list to run it or select directory and filename to save it. This is a bit hazardous. But this can be resolved very easily. Just Follow the procedure below:

1. Install jdk from http://java.sun.com

2. Open Java Web Start file ( jnlp ) from browser and when browser prompt – open with – direct to always open with <jdk installfolder>/bin/javaws

That’s it! You’re free from the hazard as for always.
