[SOLVED]Firefox open pdfs with openoffice rather than okular

Hello All,

Every time I download pdf with Firefox and doubleclick on it in Download window, I am getting it opened with OpenOffice. I would like to have Okular instead. Unfortunately I am not able to track where it gets this association from.

I am using KDE4.3.5 and Firefox 3.5.8. I have okular specified for pdf in Firefox->Edit->Preferences->Applications, and I have okular associated in KDE (when I doubleclick on pdf doc in Dolphin, it starts okular). But still, download window launches OO.

That is very annoying...

Any ideas?

Thank you.

-Decha.

I think that you should associate all your .pdf to okular.

Right click on a file using dolphin or konqueror and I think that you can change that directly inside KDE.

Hello d2_racing,

As I mentioned in my initial post this is done. Dolphin has .pdf associated with okular and starts it properly. This is only mozilla-specific.
BTW, also if I click on pdf link in firefox and choose "open with..." it opens with okular by default. But if I save and double-click in download window - open office starts. Weird.

Could this be some gtk association? I don't have gnome installed and honestly have no idea how this is defined.

Thanks.

-Decha.

Maybe Reseting download actions will help ( remember
that you can move configs when you are told to remove them).

Do you have a .mozilla or something similar inside your home directory ?

If so, maybe you could try to reset the settings

Thanks, guys, I was able to figure this out with your help

My mistake was to trust firefox displays settings that are used - but there are no mime types in preferences...
Finally what I did was to move out ~/.mozilla directory, start with a blank config (issue didn't happen on blank config) and then I copied over mimeTypes.rdf from the new config to the old one and moved it back. Works like a charm!

Thank again, this is solved.

-Decha.
