Up until recently, I was able to launch/open JNLP files in Firefox using Java web start.
Don't know what happened all of a sudden JNLP files stopped launching, a splash screen appears saying Java Starting... and then nothing happens. Even the Java Console in the browser and javacpl.cpl applet doesn't open.
Tried all possibilities: removed all older version and installed the latest JRE (java version "1.6.0_17"), still it doesn't work.
Done some googling for this problem, people suggested to start javaws.exe with -viewer option but same behavior (a splash screen appears saying "Java Starting..." and then disappears)
The problem is that I don't know any place (logs etc.) to look for to see what is causing the problem.
I am using WinXP SP3, and some of the screenshots below shows further info about my system. I can provide any other detail if required but please help me solve this problem.

Highlight the JNLP file by tapping or clicking . JNLP under the Extensions column, then tap or click on Change Program. Tap or Click Java™ Web Start Launcher from the list of programs. If you do not see Java Web Start Launcher listed, tap or click More options then Look for another app on this PC.
Select the 'Security tab', click the [Edit Site List] button, and add https://ecf.ca5.uscourts.gov/ to the Exception Site List. 4. Select the 'Advanced' tab, click the 'Always allow' radio button under JNLP File/MIME Association, and click [OK].
Have a look at what happens if you run javaws.exe directly from the command line.
