4.1.4 Browser-specific behaviors

When using Reflection for the Web Launcher with either the Hybrid or Launcher deployment option, the user experience differs depending on which browser is used. Specifically:

  • Internet Explorer 11 or Microsoft Edge: Automatically starts Reflection for the Web without additional user intervention.

  • Google Chrome: Downloads the MFjnlp file by default. The user must open it the first time:

    1. In the status bar at the bottom of the browser, right-click (or click the arrow next to) MFjnlp.mfjnlp.

    2. Click Always open files of this type.

      As a result, subsequent downloads of the MFjnlp file will automatically start Reflection for the Web without additional user intervention.

    3. For the first instance, open (double-click) the MFjnlp file to start Reflection for the Web.

  • Mozilla Firefox: Downloads the MFjnlp file by default. The user must open it the first time:

    1. In the dialog for Opening MFjnlp.mfjnlp, check Do this automatically for files like this from now on.

      As a result, subsequent downloads of the MFjnlp file will automatically start Reflection for the Web without additional user intervention. (The dialog will not appear.)

    2. For the first instance, open (double-click) the MFjnlp file to start Reflection for the Web.
