On ubuntu 12.04.4 (precise), I was able to run a *.jnlp from Firefox
(26.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.2) only after manually configuring update-
alternatives to use javaws from openjdk-7:
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
# update-alternatives --config javaws
There are 2 choices for the alternative javaws (providing /usr/bin/javaws).
Selection Path Priority
Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws 1061
auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws 1061
manual mode
* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws 1060
manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 2
# dpkg -S /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws
icedtea-netx: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws
icedtea-netx: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws
# apt-cache policy icedtea-netx
icedtea-netx:
Installed: 1.2.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.3

Now it's working fine for me :-)
