Up until recently, I was able to launch/open JNLP files in Firefox using Java web start.
Don\'t know what happened all of a sudden JNL
i had the same problem here. go to your Java Control Panel and Settings... Uncheck 'Keep temporary files on my computer'. Apply changes and try again your .jnlp
Note: Tested on different machines; Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 64bit. Java Version: 1.7++ since my jnlp app is built on 1.7
Please let me know your feedback too. :D
