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.
