To ensure it wasn't some desktop setting I did a "unity --reset" and
also performed the same tests from metacity with the same
results.

Title:
  java webstart creates infinite open windows, desktop DoS

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
