It seems that firefox 68.x, as distributed with CentOS6 updates, no longer allows opening jnlp files with javaws The "Choose Helper Application" window popping up after selecting "Open with/Other" has a predefined list of applications that cannot be customised.

Don't know about CentOS6, but with CentOS7, the selection of apps that you can use appear to map to '.desktop' files?
If it is the same on CentOS6, then you might be able to set up a suitable .desktop file (e.g. in /usr/share/applications/ or similar) to do what you want ...
No idea if this is of any help James Pearson _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
