[Bug 1908049] Re: Firefox cannot open pdf with viewer (evince)

[Manfred Steiner]

Here is the desired handlers.json file.

Because you see no problems on a fresh installed machine, I try again on
my fresh installed machine and I have some new information.

When using an external link (https:///... /file.pdf") firefox asks as
desired. When I use a local file resource (from bookmark for example
file:///.../file.pdf) firefox does not ask and opens it with the
internal viewer. On recent Ubuntu version (16.04, 18.04) firefox also
asks for local file resources.
