Not quite sure whats happening.

I use vista, have the latest IE and Java.

When i click on betatest to start a FFb game all i get is a pop up ask "Do you want to open or save ffb.jnlp from fumbbl.com"

Any ideas?

well the obvious solution would be to download it and then click on it to start it.
If that doesn't work it is likely a java related problem that you can probably solve by using another version. (either newer or older who knows) Feel free to test another browser tho...

Yea tried that, downloading it, nothing happens. Tried FF to the same result.

I removed my versoin of java and downloaded the current one, still did the same.

Choose the "open" option. Did that not work?

Check your java settings so that you have sandbox-mode enabled.

start-> control-panel -> java -> advanced

Thats at least where i find it in WinXP, should be similar in vista.
