After installing Gimp it became the default application for PDFs, something I didn't really want. A quick change in Nautilus took care of Gnome. Still firefox insists on only offering a single choice for handling PDFs: gimp!
Gnome behaves correctly, and XDG seems to be set up properly:
% xdg-mime query default application/pdf /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop
How do I get firefox to use the correct application?
/M
Firefox->Edit->Preferences->Applications
Ah, forgot to mention that I've looked there already. There is no mention of PDF there, and I can't find a way to add an entry to it. Firefox used evince before I installed gimp, so it must be picking up available applications from somewhere, right? It also seems to pick up much more than just the name of the executable, since it displays the choice "GNU Image Manipulation Program (d..." in the dialogue. But where, and how do I change the settings? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
