This is Fedora 13 with the KDE desktop and all the latest updates:
When I click on a pdf link in Firefox, I get a message saying the helper
application doesn't exist and to change that in preferences. In Firefox
preferences in the Applications tab, the helper app is set to Okular. If I
download a pdf, as opposed to clicking on the link, and then right-click
and select open with Okular, it works fine.
In KDE settings, the file association for pdf's is also set to Okular
Is there another place this has to be set??
Seems to work ok for me.
The way it's *supposed* to work, is the KDE sets ENV
$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-
profile/default/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share
(see /etc/kde/env/env.sh)
and there is
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/applications/defaults.list
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/applications/mimeapps.list
(the former generally used by gtk2 apps these days, the latter kde)
So, long-story-short, not sure why firefox isn't using these items for you.
