My automated test involves navigating to a webpage on a remote system (via Selenium Firefox Driver) which runs a Java Plug-in to launch an embedded Java Applet. When the test first ran, I connected to the remote system (via Remote Desktop) and manually selected "Allow and Remember" as the plug-in was trying to run. However, this only addressed that first instance; it didn't address subsequent instances where I wanted to run the same test, same server (same plug-in).

Hey I got an awesome tip about this from the #addons channel Archaeopteryx

You can Manage your Firefox Click To Play Whitelist.
