Ha! 

Recall my troubles with epdfview when using firefox (for almost 2
years) posted a couple of days ago or so.

On a whim, I switched the default application (/usr/bin/epdfview)
to plain old epdfview and it now works! 


~$ ll /usr/bin/epdfview 
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 184K Jan 13  2012 /usr/bin/epdfview*
~$ which epdfview
epdfview is /bin/epdfview
epdfview is /usr/bin/epdfview
~$ ll /bin/epdfview 
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 184K Jan 13  2012 /bin/epdfview*

Go figure! However, I am happy to have "fixed" this problem, even
though I have no idea what I just did!
