[Bug 220553] [NEW] local pdf displayed inline as text

[ncsaba]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

After a security upgrade carried out using the update manager, local pdf
files are displayed as source text in the firefox browser window instead
of opening it in the external viewer configured via the ~/.mailcap file.

Considering that this was working well before, i.e. clicking a link to a
local PDF file it was opening it via evince, as configured in my
~/.mailcap, and I didn't change anything else in the system, it must be
because of the update of firefox.
