Ah, forgot to mention that I've looked there already. There is no mention of
PDF there, and I can't find a way to add an entry to it.

But where, and how do I change the settings?
I used the search box inside "Firefox->Edit->Preferences->Applications" to
pull up what to do with "pdf" and was then able to set it to okular. But
then I no longer get the selection pop-up that would let me override the choice
and use evince if I wanted to... And if I select "always ask" the pop-up
doesn't offer okular except by clicking my way to the search box where I need
to point or type the full path. IE: /usr/bin/okular rather than just okular
So I decided to just set it and forget it.
Hope this helps.
why not just set it to xdg-open and be done with it?
