Hello,
A few items... Never gotten FF to work from Linux, nor Windows for WebAccess.... But they claim it works, I would open a support request with your VMware Support representative and get it looked into from that angle. It sounds like a code bug in the XML/Java/MKS layer.
Second, I would not use WebAccess unless you are using it over SSL with pre-shared keys or in a very secure location. It suffers like most SSL based authentication from a security vulnerability. For this reason I tend to disable it entirely and instead use RDP over a secure VPN/tunnel connection to a secured Windows XP VM from which I can safely run the VIC when working externally or even internally in some cases.
It is something else to consider when dealing with webAccess, is it really necessary or are there other more secure means to access the VMs. If it is use, is it secured enough. I.e. limited to a certain set of hosts.
Best regards,
