NOTE: As of Kubuntu 18.04, you now have to use the following command to edit protected files with Kate: SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache Here’s the command I use in Kubuntu: sudo kate /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache Open a terminal and gain root privilege to edit the following file: / usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. It turns out, the solution is to edit a different file, changing the order of default applications for opening PDFs. The second logical solution would be to change the default applications in Firefox, but that doesn’t do anything. First, by simply setting your system-wide preference for what program opens PDFs, that should do it, but mine was already set to Okular (you can change the default for most programs by right-clicking a PDF file, selecting Properties, then File Type Options and setting the program you want to be the default). It would make sense to be able to change this in one of two ways. It’s doubly annoying since you can’t solve it inside Firefox. This didn’t used to happen, but it’s really annoying. I’m not exactly sure why, but with the latest Firefox updates, every time I download a PDF using Firefox or try to open one using Zotero integrated with Firefox, the PDF opens in GIMP.
