I can confirm it no longer works, and there doesn't seam to be an update.

Hell! There doesn't even appear to be a "Content Type" for PDF in my
Helper Applications. You might want to check that first.

I was going to switch the "Action" to "Always Ask", but can't if it
isn't there.

That would have one alternative. Another is to switch to Firefox.

Are there no other Linux PDF readers?  There are several for Mac OS, so
surely there must be more than one?



There are plenty of Linux PDF readers, but if you can't associate a non-existent "Content Type" with an "Action" what do you do with the PDF file?

Wait! I haven't tried right clicking on a PDF and setting an action there.

Okay, I disabled the PDF Viewer extension, selected a PDF, right clicked, selected Save, put a check mark for "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.", and it created a "PDF document" Content Type in Helper Applications.

Changed that to "Always Ask", enabled the PDF Viewer extension, clicked the PDF file and it opened using the extension.

Still, shouldn't there have been a PDF document Content Type in the default list of Helper Applications?
