Do you know how to make Chrome look like Internet Explorer and don't ask if you should Save (frmserlet.jnlp) and then have to press to Open frmserlet.jnlp?
I attached a survey.
Sorry, but I don't know why you included the Word doc. Regardless, do the following. It is supported from any browser but does require the use of newer Java 8 versions like 8u211+.
jnlp://example.com/forms/frmservlet?config=webstart
Note that I replaced "HTTP://" with "JNLP://". You can also use JNLPS:// for SSL/TLS connections in place of HTTPS://.
Doing this is not supported when integrated with SSO (OAM).
Michael, I was not clear and objective.
I want Chrome to have the same behavior as Internet Explorer with regard to not issuing WARNING messages or opening download frmservlet.jnlp.
How to eliminate this WARNING and stop pressing Keep to automatically load the frmservlet.jnlp?
I ALWAYS press Open on the frmservlet.jnlp options to load. Why the option "Always open files of this type is disabled", after all it would be much easier.
Assuming you are using a newer version of Chrome and you do what I mentioned, you won't get the save process. You will just be prompted to "Open". As for the "Open" prompt that has nothing to do with Forms or Java. That is browser functionality that the browser vendors feel is necessary to "protect" the user. Basically it tells the user that they are about to run an application and not just open a web page. Having this behavior helps to prevent users from accidentally running malicious applications without their knowledge. Again, if you don't like this behavior you can opt to contact the browser vendor and/or file a bug with them. Here is a Chrome bug I followed for a long time on this issue. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=518170
If you don't like the behaviors I described above, you have several options:
1. Use Internet Explorer 11 or a recent ESR distribution of Firefox.
2. "Install" the JWS application and allow users to run from a desktop shortcut rather than browser.

3. Use the Forms Standalone Launcher.
