Description Bernd Strieder 2009-11-01 18:47:52 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009090900 SUSE/3.0.14-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.14

Firefox in RC2 seems to use Gimp to open PDF files by default, which is not the best option, if there are PDF viewers available, and there seem to be more missing in the same line.

The problem is a bit nasty, and might be a showstopper for unexperience users.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right Click link to PDF file
2. Select Open

Actual Results:  
 Gimp is launched and displays the file

Expected Results:  
okular or acroread should open the file, when installed, gimp maybe if no pdf viewer is available.
