Firefox used evince before I installed gimp, so it must be picking up

It also seems to pick up much more than just the name of the executable, since
it displays the choice "GNU Image Manipulation Program (d..." in the dialogue.
If you're talking about the dialogue I'm thinking of ("What should
Firefox do with this file?"), you can choose "Other..." and browse for
an executable of your choice.
Sure I can, but I'm curious of how firefox picked up evince to begin
with, and then picked gimp instead, and why is evince not available as
an option any more?
Is that really only configurable by browsing around for executable
files if I'm unhappy with the default choice?
If you were on this list from a long time, then you probably know that
even I'd started a thread about a similar issue. It was about file
associations with firefox& thunderbird. Ultimate solution is to use
their inbuilt settings- that was what suggested to me.
How amazingly irritating!

There happens to be an archive of this list. I think the alluded-to
message is here [0]. I definitely agree it's irritating to tease like
that without a link.
