--- Comment #2 from 61kyl...@anonaddy.me ---
Ops, the blockquote got messed up.

>The root of the problem is: KDE does not initialize the XDG file associations 
>file ~/.config/mimeapps.list with its defaults. Instead KDE relies on its own 
>launch executable. Since Thunderbird / GTK apps parse that file to get 
>defaults it shows a random app that supports opening PDF files.

>A quick workaround to solve this is forcing KDE to generate the entry for PDF 
>files. You can do that by changing file association order to something 
>different than the default applying it and then turning the ordering back to 
>Okular-first in System Settings -> File Associations.
>
>It is an oddity left from KDE4 days. It allows people to try out KDE without 
>ruining GTK based desktop file associations but causes problems like this when 
>GTK apps are used under KDE desktop.
