Thanks for checking.  And I can't trigger the issue with Emacs 27 and
the commit reported in the subject (ba2405) on a GNU/Linux system.

This goes through org-open-file, so it depends on the OS and system
configuration.  Frederic, I'd recommend trying to tweak org-file-apps to
see if you can land on something that displays the PDF again.

And I think Nick's suggestion/question in the SE comment thread is a
good one:

    It's probably not an emacs issue at all: what happens when you run
    usr/bin/xdg-open /home/fs/Documents/essai.pdf from the command line?
