I add some information I gathered through interactions in Ubuntu Discourse.
In the output of "/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal -v -r", after opening Firefox, opening a PDF with an external application and closing Firefox again, the following can be seen: XDP: Default handler org.gnome.Evince for file, application/pdf XDP: Recommended handlers for file, application/pdf: org.gnome.Papers, AdobeReader, atril, com.google.Chrome, gimp, google-chrome, libreoffice-draw, org.gnome.Evince, org.inkscape.Inkscape, display-im7.q16, acrordrdc_acrordrdc, chromium_chromium, chromium_daemon, firefox_firefox XDP: Found in permission store: handler: (null), count: 0 / 3, always ask: 0 XDP: (null) XDP: Opening app chooser XDP: Received choice org.gnome.Evince XDP: Launching org.gnome.Evince file:///home/wgarcia/Downloads/worksheet-89.pdf XDP: Found in permission store: handler: (null), count: 0 / 3, always ask: 0 XDP: updating permissions for firefox_firefox: content-type application/pdf, handler org.gnome.Evince, count 1 / 3 I've been told that after opening 3 times with the same application, Firefox should open PDF directly with that application without showing the list of "recommended handlers". The count starts at 0 / 3 and gets updated to 1 / 3. If I keep opening the PDF file and closing it, at some point it shows again 0 / 3 and goes to 1 / 3, but it never goes above 1. So it never reaches 3 / 3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2152906 Title: Firefox PDF opening with default system application looks different in Ubuntu 26.04 compared to 25.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/+bug/2152906/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
