Firefox has no JNLP association how do I make one?

I have downloaded a JNLP file from
http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/physics
for a physics class that I'm taking, but the file will not load or start in Firefox.
Java Web Start has already been installed by the system administrator but there is no file association for, nor is there a "JNLP" file type listed in Firefox --> Tools --> Options --> Applications
How can this be fixed so that the "JNLP" file type is listed in Firefox --> Tools --> Options --> Applications?
If you can get me that far I can do the rest by making the file association to javaws.exe.
Thanks.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm using Linux. Specifically: Kubuntu 12.04
Since this was a java problem, I thought it could be fixed within firefox.
jscher2000: When I try your suggestion I get no option to browse for a file to open it with, and the only option is IceTea Java Webstart. When I click on that I get the error message: /tmp/faraday_en.jnlp could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. ...and this same error occurs no matter what jnlp file firefox is trying to open.
Cor-el: As I stated in this post I'm using Linux so there is no registry to edit, and as such your solution doesn't apply to my setup. There should be a configuration file someplace on Linux to do something similar but I'm not sure how or where to even begin looking or even what to search for in google to figure that out. So I'm basically stuck.
Thanks for the input. Any other Linux based solutions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hello, my main button has stopped working .. how do I make it work again?

    Hello,
    my main button has stopped working.. how do I make it work again?
    thank you

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • How do I make one account's home folder visible to the other?

    How do I make one account's home folder visible to the other? Also, when I begin to delete an account, it asks if I want to either delete its home folder, keep it in the users folder, or save it in a disk image. I want to be able to see it from my remaining account once I delete it, so if I leave it in the users folder, would I be able to see all the files (right now I can't

    Use terminal to add ACL to the account,
    at the prompt:
    sudo chmod -R +a "<user> allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit" /User/<user_name> #yep, all that goes on one line!#
    #Replace <user> with the user name that you want to have file/folder privileges#
    #Replace <user_name> with the account you want to process#
    example:
    sudo chmod -R +a "sue allow list,add_file, .... deletechild,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    /User/joe
    #sue now gets full access to joe's files and folders#
    to remove:
    sudo chmod -R -a "sue allow list,add_file, .... deletechild,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    /User/joe
    You can add as many users as you want! Just lather, rinse repeat. That is how I share my itunes
    directory with the ones I want to share it with.
    That's the simplest way. ACL permissions overrule posix permissions.

    If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
    You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

  • How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account?

    How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account? I currently have an iPad mini, iPhone 5, and MacBook pro attached to my apple accounts, but I want only my iPhone 5 to be assosiated with either one. Whenever I use any of the three devices, I get a notification on the other two telling me that these devices are now using these accounts from these services, etc. and I want these notifications to stop, along with the devices using to them. How do I do this? I completely reset the iPad mini so I don't know how I'm still getting notifications from it, and I deleted and signed of of all of my accounts everywhere I could find on my Mac. So, to restate exactly what I want to do, I want ONLY my iPhone 5 to use ANY of my Apple/iCloud accounts and ONLY it can receive emails, iMessages, and FaceTime calls. Thanks!

    If you want to disconect your Mac from iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud and click Sign Out.  If you only want to stop using iCloud email, just uncheck Mail.  To stop iMessage, open the Messages app, go to Messages>Preferences, click the Accounts tab, click your iCoud ID on the left-hand side, then to the right click Sign Out.  To stop FaceTime, open the FaceTime app, then click "Apple ID" then click Sign Out.
    On your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (or if you only want to stop using iCloud email, turn Mail off).  For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID and sign out.  For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID and sign out.

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

  • I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and Itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognixed by all these devices?

    I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,

  • How do I make one video plays after the other

    Let's say I have an idvd project with 5 different movies, how do I make one plays after the other? When I click next, it goes back to the menu. Thanks Alex

    There are two ways to do this.
    1. If you have it, use iMovie HD6. You can put all of your movies into one project, and add chapter markers at the beginning of each movie. This will allow you to play your movies straight through or select the individual movies, like a scene selection.
    2. You can use iDVD instead. Check out this post by Old Toad on how to use this method.

  • I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

    I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

    I assume these are POP accounts and all computers are set to remove from Server after downloading.
    So on the non dominant ones... Mail Preferences>Accounts, highlight an account, Advanced tab, uncheck remove from Server, just have the main dominant one remove from server.
    Or get/setup IMAP accounts.

  • Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

    Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    NGI

    do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
    1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in   spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
    2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
    3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
    4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
    5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
         Type your password when prompted.
    6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
    7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
    8) Insert your DVD
    9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
    Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
    Note: to disable the debug menu,
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

  • How can I make one list of all events I have in over 30 libraries I made

    How can I make one list of all events I have in over 30 libraries I made?

    The only way I know of is to take a screenshot of the Photo mode with the View ➙ Show Event Titles selected.  That will give you a list of sorts.  Might take more than one screenshot per library.

  • How can we make one object as synchronizable?

    Hi!
    I am new to java.How can we make one object as synchronizable?
    Thanx

    Synchronize is used to make an object and/or a functional sequence thread safe. By itself it does not make something thread safe.
    So the point is to make something thread safe not just to synchronize it.
    You can either sychronize a method like so....
          public synchronized void doit()
    Or you synchronize on an object (where 'Object' below is solely as an example, any object can be used)...
          Object lockObject = new Object();
          public void doit()
             sychronized (lockObject)

  • HT1918 How do I make one of my alternate email addresses my primary address?

    How do I make one of my alternate email addresses my primary address? Apple won't let the primary address be the same as one of the alternates and I haven't found a way to delete an alternate address.
    Thanks

    For some ridiculous reason, Apple won't let you use an existing alternate email address.
    You have to first delete the alternate email address you want to use, then edit the primary address and enter the address you want. You'll then have to re-verify the address you just deleted and when it asks you to enter your AppleID, you use the new address.
    I'm sure there used to be a 'Make primary' link next to your alternate email addresses. I guess that was too easy.
