Just tested in a clean and fully up-to-date focal VM, and this works as
expected: by default PDF files are opened in the built-in pdfjs viewer,
but when I change the setting to use the system's default application,
they are opened in evince.
Can you run the following command in a terminal and attach the file
whose name gets printed?
find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name handlers.json
