There shouln't be a "launch file" option in the context menu there on Linux...

var gCannotLaunch = ((navigator.platform.indexOf("Win") == -1) &&
                     (navigator.platform.indexOf("OS/2") == -1) &&
                     (navigator.platform.indexOf("Mac") == -1));

So the launch button/context menuitem should only appear on those platforms.
