You are right. I just created a new user, and it worked as expected: evince opened a embedded pdf inside firefox window. I use a lot of addons and because of that, keep reusing my $HOME/ (and .mozilla) directory. Upon further investigation, I found out that some addon (or myself, a long time ago :-)) configured firefox to use /dev/shm/... (ram disk?) as Cache directory. With about:config, removing browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and restarting firefox solved the problem.
Sorry for wasting your time :-( Note to self: always try with a new user before submitting a bug. -- evince cant read pdf from /dev/shm/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608855 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
