Public bug reported:

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 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.
