I used  the search box inside "Firefox->Edit->Preferences->Applications" to
pull up what to do with "pdf" and was then able to set it to okular. But
then I no longer get the selection pop-up that would let me override the choice
and use evince if I wanted to... And if I select "always ask" the pop-up
doesn't offer okular except by clicking my way to the search box where I need
to point or type the full path. IE: /usr/bin/okular rather than just okular

So I decided to just set it and forget it. 

Hope this helps.
