We do set up a file association, so it should work with Firefox,
Nautilus, etc.:

$ rpm -q --scripts icedtea-web
...
...
posttrans scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
update-desktop-database &> /dev/null || :
...

$ rpm -ql icedtea-web | grep .desktop
/usr/share/applications/itweb-settings.desktop
/usr/share/applications/javaws.desktop


$ cat /usr/share/applications/javaws.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=IcedTea Web Start
Comment=IcedTea Application Launcher
Exec=/usr/bin/javaws.itweb %f
Icon=javaws
Terminal=false
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=application/x-java-jnlp-file;
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.18


Is something missing above?
