[Bug 891707] Re: java webstart creates infinite open windows, desktop DoS

[Peter Petrakis]

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  To recreate the issue, use this sample JNLP site:
  http://pscode.org/jws/api.html
  
  click and run "basic service demo" from the browser.
  
  A series of new windows will open, blank, one after the other,
- with no end in site.
+ with no end in sight.
  
  It's so bad I had to switch to a tty and killall -9 firefox.
  
  The behavior is the same if you were to download the jnlp instead
  and use "gnome-open basicserv.jnlp".
  
  However, if I were to use 'javaws basicserv.jnlp', the service
  spawns just fine. If I change firefox to call javaws directly, it
  also works just fine. This leads me to believe that there's a bug
  in the mime handling for JNLP.
