Using Thunderbird 60.3.0 on Ubuntu 18.04. When I click on a PDF attachment and select "Open with", it suggests to use LibreOffice Draw. I choose "Other" but I cannot see Document Viewer amongst the available applications. How can I debug this? Please note PDF files open correctly in operating system (e.g. after saving them to desktop).

Sorry the problem was elsewhere... just discovered I was using an outdated snap version, as soon as I removed it and install from apt everything went back to normal.

Thank you!

In the window that you see when clicking Other, that doesn't show Document Viewer in the list of available apps, is there not a Browse... button to manually select the proper app?
