Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Using epiphany 2.22.2-0ubuntu0.8.04.6 and xulrunner-1.9.2 1.9.2.4+build7+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 from the ubuntu-mozilla-security PPA cannot open URLs for many file types. The following are known not to work:
pdf (evince)
doc, xls, odp, odt, ods, rtf (OO.o)
tiff (eog)

HTML files and images seem fine. This seems to be limited to using an external helper (eg, 'pdf' uses evince, the office documents, tiff uses eog, etc).

WORKAROUND: right click on the URL, and click 'Save Link As'.

Turns out that xulrunner-1.9.2-gnome-support did not get installed on upgrade. After installing, everything works fine.
