Rationale: This was a Mozilla oversight and/or error.
This change has caused harm and is causing users to switch back to
Chrome, Safari or Edge for their WebStart needs.
JNLP is not an executable and should not be treated as such. JNLP should
be treated the same as any (e.g. Word) document and allowed to be opened
with the designated program.
A JNLP file will not cause execution on a system unless it has a valid
signature, and the user explicitly authorizes the launching based on
information provided by the signature. Moreover, there will even be a
check by the Java environment to see if the Java runtime (if there is
one) is current, and prompt the user to update if required.
This reverts commit 21495c58976e3cbbfe54d2e54d1fd67e36dff2a6 and
modifies ApplicationReputation.cpp to keep the list in sync (was a
discrepancy before).
This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a future platform to be used by XUL
applications.
This repository will contain at least one application to demonstrate and make use
of the platform: The Basilisk web browser, a close twin to Mozilla's Firefox.
