RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords".

Description of problem:
When trying to open a test jnlp from Step 2 here: http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=8336&questionID=1473&task=knowledge Firefox tries to open the meeting.jnlp file in Google Chrome, and Google Chrome only downloads the file
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.77-0.b03.el7_2.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.14.4-37.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Open a file on a fresh Firefox or Chrome, or double click on a jnlp file in nautilus
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file on a fresh Firefox or Chrome (test file see link above in Step2), or double click on a jnlp file in nautilus
2. Google Chrome is the default application for jnlp files
3.
Actual results:
Google Chrome opens and wants to download the file
Expected results:
Javaws should start the application
Additional info:
The file /usr/share/applications/javaws.desktop is available but does not associate by default with the right application
mimeinfo.cache seems to be correct too
grep jnlp /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
application/x-java-jnlp-file=javaws.desktop;

I'm pretty sure itw associate jnlp with javaws. May it be chrome who messed up the system?
