Comment 2 for bug 208231

Hi,

I tested it out with a clean profile: nearly the same happens.

1: Open a PDF document, click on an external link http://something.org
2: firefox opens the website => All ok

Since I'm a webdeveloper, and opens .html documents often to edit them I changed the default program to open .html document from firefox to gedit
3: Open nautilus, search or create a .html file
4: Right-click on it to open the properties menu
5: go to the Open With tab
6: Select Text editor (gedit)
7: Close the menu, and click once again on the link in the PDF document
8: Gedit downloads the document, opens it and shows the HTML code

9: Repeat step 5-7, but choose firefox again
10: Firefox opens as expected

Maybe this is normal behaviour for evince because it uses gvfs or whatever to open the documents, but it is not what I want that it does. Maybe it is not an evince bug, but a gnome/gvfs/nautilus/whatever bug.

If you say it is my system (but it is not the user configuration, since I used a clean new profile), I want to know what can cause it. It would be already very useful to know what method evince uses to open links (gnome-open, ...).
