Current version: 78.14.0 (64-bit), Ubuntu 20.04 I recently migrated from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 20.04. Having successfully imported my profiles from the old install in Win7 to the new installation in Ubuntu, I find myself suddenly unable to open PDF attachments on TB, instead asking me which app do I want to open then with.

I don't have my Linux PC available, but I recall there are a few differences between the Linux and Windows versions. All I can suggest is to review the Preferences for Files&Attachments and see if PDF is one of the options.
