Opening a .jnlp file is like opening a .doc file; it doesn't require any support from the browser, and it doesn't require any plugins. It runs locally and natively inside the OS.
After you open it, you can even close the browser. Or you can get it with wget. Or you can store it locally and launch it without a browser. Etc etc. But all these are unrelated to LTSP so I don't think we should continue discussing it in this list... :) Cheers, Alkis On 09/03/2017 06:31 μμ, David Groos wrote: > Wow! that was close, almost updated my Firefox this morning.
