Actually it did, but not to webstart. "about:plugins" now reports Java
6, but that is to do with running applets etc.
As I said before: Derek's claim of the existence of a connection between
Web Start and the Java plugin is irrelevant wrt launching a jnlp from
the browser.

Hey, that's a little excessive. You make me sound like a conspiracy nut!

Huh? That was not intended.
But I don't have the slightest idea how one could judge my remark above
as "excessive" or how it could make you sound like "conspiracy nut".
OTOH, English is not my native language (as you may have guessed). So,
if my use of the English language might be considered offending by a
native speaker, I apologize.
Nevertheless: whether or not there's a connection between Web Start and
the Java plugin is irrelevant wrt to the OP's problem IMO. That's what I
tried to say above.

There's not just a single "plugin", and I thought javaws was part of the
plugin package. It's not. And it _did_ fix at least some of his other
issues...

It did? I have obviously missed that.
