I'm quoting from user "jwhendy" at

I'm posting this here because his fix worked for me.

>> 
>>   $ xdg-open test.pdf 
>>   /usr/bin/xdg-open: line 396: 19916 Segmentation fault   $command_exec "$1"
>> 
>> This is when Firefox pops open. Quitting firefox ends the xdg-open command.

>> Update: This works (line 402 in /usr/bin/xdg-open):
>> 
>> ---( From )---
>> 
>>   $command_exec "$1"
>> 
>> ---( To )---
>> 
>>   eval `"$command_exec" "$1"`
