Hello,
some of the web-applications we use are using .jnlp files for specific
functionalitites. These files have to be started with openwebstart or
java web start from oracle. I noticed a regression in the non-ESR
firefox release 99 (99.0+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.2), in that users no
longer get the option to "launch" the jnlp, instead it is just
downloaded, and - even worse - there is no option to change this
behaviour in firefox-settings by the user (jnlp is no longer listed as a
configurable filetype in settings). I found the corresponding
policies.json setting which allows to restore the old behaviour for
.jnlp files (or application/x-java-jnlp-file mimeTypes).
Luckily firefox-ESR (which most of our users use) does not yet show this
behaviour, jnlp still functions as usual with the latest 91.9.0 release.
Now I am wondering - is this going to stay this way for the ESR, or is
this a planned change that's going to affect ESR as well? Will at least
the configurability through polices stay?
Also on this topic - some of our applications only work with
openwebstart, others only work with web start from oracle, which is
licensed only for these specific applications. Currently it is up to the
user to select the correct javaws for the specific java-application. Is
it somehow possible to preconfigure this via policies.json? So that a
.jnlp-file from URL/Domain A is started by application a, and a .jnlp
file from URL/Domain B is started by application b?
Thanks
André

Hi Mike, can you advise what we can expect to see for behavior with the upcoming Firefox ESR 102.x? Specifically for JNLP, have you implemented the same alternative handling as what got included in Firefox ESR 91.x for us? As we explained earlier by us (Oracle), the handling of JNLP file type is critical to many of our customers and Firefox should allow for an automated launch / execution of such downloaded files. JNLP files are merely XML files that are executed by Java on the client.
Hi Mike,
we also use JNLP files for some Java web stuff and I tried it with firefox v102 but it seems I don’t get it done.
Have you created a new gpo setting? If yes I cant find it. Where is it located and whats the name?
May I am blind but I checked the links and I cant find the name in it.
I used policy templates v3.10 and also searched all settings but also with no luck.
Thanks Sascha

Thanks Mike for all your work as always,
All - was going through the commit history since last summer to get 102esr ready for early evaluation here – here are some other things I have found between 91-102 (I use policies.json in the distribution folder):
{
"policies": {
"UserMessaging": {
"MoreFromMozilla": false
},
"FirefoxHome": {
"SponsoredTopSites": false,
"SponsoredPocket": false
}
}
}

Hi Pieter - Here is the bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722050
and the code:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/43d2e2a15bad
Your syntax looks OK to my eyes, but I might be missing something. Mike should have the policies with examples posted soon here with the latest Firefox 102 changes https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/commit/417f958cbfb569456953c7ba642e24bde4570276

Hi all,
until now, I failed to get jnlp started without interaction in FF 102.
The site where the jnlp-file is downloaded from is like “https://xy.mysite.at”
My GPO looks like:
ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings=
[{
"file_extension": "jnlp", "domains": ["mysite.at",https:// mysite.at,"xy. mysite.at",https://xy. mysite.at]
}]
But I always get a message-box to store the jnlp-file or cancel the action.
What ist wong?
Regards,
Stephan

I'm kindly checking in on this case ahead of the upcoming Firefox ESR this year, since Bug 1779018 remains open since last year when the code changes were reverted

This bug is very annoying and we stayed on Firefox 91 in our organization due to this problem.
I don't understand WHY on every ESR new version we, system administration, should pray that all things do their job without managing too complicated policies (like extension handlers).
