Public bug reported:
When opening a pdf from a Microsoft Help Attribute Definition File
source, Firefox defaults to gedit instead of evince in FF 17.0.1, Ubuntu
12.10. This is a regression as previous versions had no such issue.
My preferences are OK; set to evince for pdf and nowhere does gedit
appear in preferred application for any file type.
It seems more complex than just a Firefox issue. I changed the profile
to a virgin one and still have the issue.
I have another partition on this laptop that opens evince properly as
well as another older laptop using the same profile that also opens
evince as the pdf viewer.
