The export commands c-c c-e d (org-export-to-pdf-and-open) as well as
c-c c-e h (org-export-to-html-and-open) do not work as expected.
The former does generate a LaTeX and a pdf file as expected, but the pdf
file does not spontaneously open. The latter does generate an html file as
expected,
but the html file does not spontaneously open.
FWIW, under standard LaTeX in emacs, the view pdf function works fine
and as expected.
I suspect this relates to an undocumented setting or (less likely) to a
bug in emacs org-mode.
I am running Fedora 16 (emacs 23) on one machine and Fedora 17 (emacs 24) on
another
machine. Both machines exhibit identical behaviour.
FWIW, I recall these functions working under Ubuntu 10.04 with its
(older) standard emacs with org-mode setup.

I assume you meant C-c C-e b for the HTML case?

Anyway, you might check out 

,----[ C-h v org-file-apps RET ]
| org-file-apps is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is ((auto-mode . emacs))
| Original value was 
| ((auto-mode . emacs)
|  ("\\.mm\\'" . default)
|  ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
|  ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| External applications for opening `file:path' items in a document.
| Org-mode uses system defaults for different file types, but
| you can use this variable to set the application for a given file
| extension.  The entries in this list are cons cells where the car identifies
| files and the cdr the corresponding command.  Possible values for the
| file identifier are
|  "string"    A string as a file identifier can be interpreted in different
|                ways, depending on its contents:
| 
|                - Alphanumeric characters only:
|                  Match links with this file extension.
|                  Example: ("pdf" . "evince %s")
|                           to open PDFs with evince.
| 
|                - Regular expression: Match links where the
|                  filename matches the regexp.  If you want to
|                  use groups here, use shy groups.
| 
|                  Example: ("\.x?html\'" . "firefox %s")
|                           ("\(?:xhtml\|html\)" . "firefox %s")
|                           to open *.html and *.xhtml with firefox.
| 
|                - Regular expression which contains (non-shy) groups:
|                  Match links where the whole link, including "::", and
|                  anything after that, matches the regexp.
|                  In a custom command string, %1, %2, etc. are replaced with
|                  the parts of the link that were matched by the groups.
|                  For backwards compatibility, if a command string is given
|                  that does not use any of the group matches, this case is
|                  handled identically to the second one (i.e. match against
|                  file name only).
|                  In a custom lisp form, you can access the group matches with
|                  (match-string n link).
| 
|                  Example: ("\.pdf::\(\d+\)\'" . "evince -p %1 %s")
|                      to open [[file:document.pdf::5]] with evince at page 5.
| 
|  `directory'   Matches a directory
|  `remote'      Matches a remote file, accessible through tramp or efs.
|                Remote files most likely should be visited through Emacs
|                because external applications cannot handle such paths.
| `auto-mode'    Matches files that are matched by any entry in `auto-mode-alist',
|                so all files Emacs knows how to handle.  Using this with
|                command `emacs' will open most files in Emacs.  Beware that this
|                will also open html files inside Emacs, unless you add
|                ("html" . default) to the list as well.
|  t             Default for files not matched by any of the other options.
|  `system'      The system command to open files, like `open' on Windows
|                and Mac OS X, and mailcap under GNU/Linux.  This is the command
|                that will be selected if you call `C-c C-o' with a double
|                C-u C-u prefix.
| 
| Possible values for the command are:
|  `emacs'       The file will be visited by the current Emacs process.
|  `default'     Use the default application for this file type, which is the
|                association for t in the list, most likely in the system-specific
|                part.
|                This can be used to overrule an unwanted setting in the
|                system-specific variable.
|  `system'      Use the system command for opening files, like "open".
|                This command is specified by the entry whose car is `system'.
|                Most likely, the system-specific version of this variable
|                does define this command, but you can overrule/replace it
|                here.
|  string        A command to be executed by a shell; %s will be replaced
|                by the path to the file.
|  sexp          A Lisp form which will be evaluated.  The file path will
|                be available in the Lisp variable `file'.
| For more examples, see the system specific constants
| `org-file-apps-defaults-macosx'
| `org-file-apps-defaults-windowsnt'
| `org-file-apps-defaults-gnu'.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
