title: Can not open JNLP file using Linux?
body: <p>I am trying to load an jnlp file. However I have the following error: <code>Could not read or parse JNLP file</code>. I've read that this the problem might be fixed from Mozilla's preferences: Edit -> Preferences -> Applications -> "Java Web Start application". However I dont have "Java Web Start application" section in my Applications (I've installed icedtea-netx but nothing appeares on the Application window). Im using Linux mint. Can someone tell me how to proceed? The solution I refer is in this forum: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/91897/first-time-using-java-web-start-in-ubuntu-fatal-launch-exception">https://askubuntu.com/questions/91897/first-time-using-java-web-start-in-ubuntu-fatal-launch-exception</a></p>
  
  <p>EDIT: this is the error that I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Read Error: Could not read or parse the JNLP file.
