I found a lot of other people with a similar problem in the Suse world
but eventually I found my own solution. Firefox wants a full path to the
app you want to use. So I went into Prefecences, chose 'Use other', and
then navigated to /usr/bin/xpdf and clicked on that. Firefox now no
longer uses gimp.
