On Ubuntu 12.04 at least, firefox honors what is present as default at

/usr/share/applications/defaults.list

If the application that is defined there is not present, then it picks
the first one from

/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

which is build in random order.

In our systems we use KDE, but evince was present in
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list as the default app. Since evince
was not installed on the system Firefox locked for another option on
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and GIMP was the first.

Solution: replace evince with kde4-okularApplication_pdf and firefox
will launch okular instead of GIMP.

Example:

application/pdf=kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop
application/postscript=kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop
application/x-cbr=kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop
application/x-cbz=kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop
application/x-gzpostscript=kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop
