It could be a 2.14 issue: note that on the opened tab label I had the
string "(application/pdf object)", so the file is recognized as a PDF
object but for some reasons epiphany doesn't open it with a
corresponding application. The same thing happens selecting the "Open
link" option from the right-click context menu on the PDF link. This
problem seems to occurr only with PDF files.
