Hello,
When I try to open lets say a pdf file from the web the standard associated program is documentviewer if firefox. Using this options results in an error: program doesn't exist. When I try to change the association of pdf files to Evince this is not possible. The same happens with odf / doc files with openoffice. My solution is to download the files and then I open the program using thunar. Is there a solution?
Best regards,
anttel

What do you have set in firefox preferences?

Just saw that I could set evince as pdf viewer, so i did... odf isn't a choice in the file associations.

But there is one for OpenDocument.

in th list I see:
irc
ircs
mailto
pdf document
podcast
tar archive
videopodcast
webcal
webfeed
zip archive

but no opendocument, and I don't know if I can add other file types...

Look harder. It is there.

Just did, but no openoffice...is it possible to add a png screenshot I just made?

Upload it to an image hosting site. Here's one from my system. In greek, but I think the important things are obvious.

I can't find OpenDocument either.

Here's the link:

It's in dutch, PDF is included / opendocument isn't
