The Firefox and Evince versions are the default versions that came with
Ubuntu 22.04.

is there anything printed when you try to open an url? I'm sorry, but I do
not understand the question. When I click on the link in the PDF document,
it does not take me to the link. If I copy the link and paste it in a new
tab on Firefox, the link works.

Here is the output:

$ journalctl -f
