Bug Description

Even if you have icedtea-netx installed and open a jnlp link from firefox, it'll offer to open it using firefox which results in a new tab and a new popup (= a loop). Same thing with nautilus; firefox is the default app to open it, and "icedtea web start" is fourth on the list!

Therefore, Icedtea-netx should bump the priority claiming to support this mimetype so that it's the preferred way to open such links.

settings invalid for gvfs, I tracked that down this week and it was a glib issue, see bug #901171 for the details but basically if there was no default handler for the exact mimetype if would prefer the default handler for a subtype to an handle for the exact type.

Said different if java source is a subclass of xml with no default handler for java_source and firefox default for xml it would pick firefox (the default for the subtype)
