Currently there is no default association for application/x-java-jnlp-file in defaults.list. As a result, Firefox does not know how to handle jnlp files and does not show IcedTea-Web's javaws as a possible option to open the file with. I have provenpackager status and don't mind adding the line to defaults.list myself (F16/F17/F18) if it is approved here. This is the line that needs to be added: application/x-java-jnlp-file=javaws.desktop;
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Still present in F18.

What does javaws need to do to make that happen? The .desktop file currently has: MimeType=application/x-java-jnlp-file; But it doesn't seem to always work and Firefox ends up not knowing what to open JNLP files with.
Hi Bastien, please see comment #5.

Nope, we run that as well in %post: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/icedtea-web.git/tree/icedtea-web.spec?h=f18#n137 Whats odd is that it does sometimes work fine, and at others it doesn't (sometimes meaning if it works after an install, it always works otherwise it never works for that install).
