That is not the Sun's Java but let's keep that way.

That's o.k.

Icewasel is pointing to the Sun's java plugin.

How about these sample files? Can you run them?

I'm afraid the problem resides not in your Icewasel or Java setup but in 
JNLP file itself. Try running others.

Tip: jnlp fiels are just xml plain text files so you can download the 
file to your desktop and then open it with any text editor to grab the 
full ".jar" source path and try to load it directly, without using the 
webstart launcher.
