Hi,

I've noticed that the default PDF viewer in
"/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache" is GIMP:

application/pdf=gimp.desktop;evince.desktop;
There is mention of this here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496237

The mimeinfo.cache is apparently ramdonly orders and not intended to
be a priority list. At least for pps that play by the rules.

Defaults are stored elsewhere, see
 /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
(for !=kde anyway).
Thank you very much for pointing it out.

Looking at this file I can see:
 application/pdf=AdobeReader.desktop

So why does Firefox try to open a PDF with GIMP?

This bug claims that this was a firefox issue and fixed in ff 3.6
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445543

I will test this later with firefox 3.6 and see what happens. I
currently have firefox set to *not* open pdf's because I prefer to
save a local copy and look at it later with evince or acroread instead
of viewing the pdf in the browser.
