[SOLVED] Open hyperlinks in xpdf

xpdf not follow hyperlinks to web pages, so to fix, just add the line

Code:

urlCommand "firefox %s"

in /etc/xpdfrc file

Hello. Thanks, this fix was very helpful! Just two additional comments: (1) That command can instead be put in your individual .xpdfrc file in your home directory if you prefer. And (2) that command seems to fail if the url has an ampersand (&) in it, but additional single-quotes fix that problem:

Code:

urlCommand "firefox '%s'"
