Re: java 6 webstart plugins for firefox?

How can I get webstart working in for java 6 in Firefox?

Webstart is not a browser plugin but an application that handles .jnlp
files (MIME-type application/x-java-jnlp-file).
That said, it should be sufficent to tell firefox to use the javaws
binary from the java6 distribution for handling files with .jnlp
extension / application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME-type.
