FirefoxEditPreferencesContent tabFile Types button
That should let you change what you're seeking

KDE prefs have nothing to do with it because Firefox is not a KDE
app

As to your other issues, can't help

I've had the same experience. Here's the magic bullet.

While reading the fedora list a while ago, Aaron Konstam posted a great tip.


"But to do what you want got to: about:config
Change:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions to false

The in: Edit->Preferences->Content->Manage you can make firefox any
program you want to open pdf files."

That appears now to have been fixed when FF couldn't find evince and I had to
trail it back through the filesystem to find acroread, its now in there as
expected.

Thanks Claud.

Unless the default configuration variables have changed value you can't
do the above without changing:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions from true to false.
