When you click on a link to pdf file and the dialog pops up, you can
click on the "Open with" drop down box, and browse to "/usr/bin/evince".
Firefox should remember this setting. Also there seem to be pdf related
extensions on Mozilla Update [1].
If you want this to apply globally to all users, I really do not know
how to do it, but I can give some general tips. You will probably need
to find a certain configuration file in "/etc/firefox/" and edit it by
hand, as Firefox is not really a GNOME application, so it does not
always follow GNOME settings. Uninstalling all other pdf viewers could
also do the job, as then there would be nothing to choose from.
Hope this helps.
