I thought it was very easy to reproduce: 1. Just open with nautilus a network directory. A samba directory smb:// or a SSH directory sftp:// 2. Click on a file
if HTML file, behaviour expected: Firefox opens it. Actually encountered: Firefox doesn't understand protocol. if PDF file, behaviour expected: Default PDF reader opens it. Actually: KPDF freezes, Acroread Blank, XPDF Fails. The problem is that most applications does not understand how to open files with smb or sftp protocol in their path. They only understand how to open local files or URLs if browsers, I think file managers would give them mounted network local paths (Without smb:// or sftp:// ).
