Are you sure that evince.desktop is not in /usr/share/applications?  If not try
locate evince.desktop

Not that this has anything to do with using it from firefox, you don't
need a .desktop file for that.  Assuming it is installed then you
should be able to select evince directly in firefox Preferences >
Applications.  If necessary use
which evince
to find where it is installed.
