I think more about stupidity that malice. Firefox is not a Qt/KDE application but rather a GTK+ one. Some packager thinks that if you use Firefox you obviously are willing not only to install the full GNOME bag of stuff, but also ditching KDE in favor of it. When I install Firefox, I am not asking for anything but Firefox. If I have program X to browse directories, I wish I keep it as it is.

I was having a similar problem with Firefox on Linux Mint 13 "Maya" MATE.

Under Oneiric I had a similar problem where the "open containing folder" would start up the software center. The solution I found was to edit the following file: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list in my case there was a line in the [Added Associations] section for inode/directory which pointed to software center: inode/directory= after deleting this line and saving the file and trying "open containing folder" it worked correctly in nautilus.

[Bug 133133] Re: "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present
I've tried adding the stanza for "file" proposed by Kokoko3k in comment #17:
to mimeTypes.rdf in the new test user profile, without any luck.
Also, "file" does not appear in the list of applications, as mentioned
in the same comment (for the new profile). It appears in my regular
users profile however (but seems to apply to unknown files also).
After all, it should boil down to make Firefox call xdg-open when opening
files, and folders.
I've not found the place to patch this though, but the path goes via
mozilla/toolkit/mozapps/downloads/content/downloads.js:
f.reveal() gets called to show the folder, but I could not find where "reveal"
is defined, nor if it goes via the catch block.
Here's the related code from the firefox source:
function showDownload(aDownload)
{
var f = getLocalFileFromNativePathOrUrl(aDownload.getAttribute("file"));
try {
// Show the directory containing the file and select the file
f.reveal();
} catch (e) {
// If reveal fails for some reason (e.g., it's not implemented on unix or
// the file doesn't exist), try using the parent if we have it.
let parent = f.parent.QueryInterface(Ci.nsILocalFile);
if (!parent)
return;
try {
// "Double click" the parent directory to show where the file should be
parent.launch();
} catch (e) {
// If launch also fails (probably because it's not implemented), let the
// OS handler try to open the parent
openExternal(parent);
}
}
}

Not entirely sure if this is related, but I had the exact problem described at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69035 and the solution there fixed it. What happened there was that firefox was using EasyTag instead of konqueror/dolphin. Now, while this is slightly different, the fact is that firefox seems to be using /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache for information about file associations, because when I removed EasyTag from there, Firefox started using Dolphin. Oddly, the next option (which I didn't delete) was Thunar, but this, apparently, was ignored. -- "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 133133] Re: "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present
racerraul, what happens when you double click on the file in the Download Manager list instead of selecting "Open Containing Folder"? Do you get it to open with the associated program, or do you also get it opened with Thunar? In my case, when I tried opening the containing folder the first time, - Firefox asked me to select the program to use, naturally I'd select /usr/bin/nautilus for my GNOME environment. - I also marked the checkbox "Remember my choice for file links". Then it will open Nautilus for any file I right-clicked and clicked "Open Containing Folder". But the side effect is, for all files I try to open (either by double clicking, or right click and select "Open", it will still try to open with Nautilus, coming up with error "the location is not a folder".

see: http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2007/09/11/open-containing-folder-in-firefox-under-linux Open Containing Folder in Firefox under Linux Posted by flori on 09/11/2007 After Downloading a file in firefox and right-clicking on the filename in the download manager, you can choose the popup menu entry "Open Containing Folder". This should open a filebrowser for the directory this file was saved in. I have to admit, that this never worked for me under Linux, only under MacOS X and under Windows. I assume the reason for this is, that you have a lot of options under Linux, but no general default for a file manager. Firefox did never show a very smart reaction (and only displays an error) if no filebrowser could be found: Perhaps asking me what to do would be a good idea? I finally couldn't take it anymore and researched how to configure this feature. I wanted XFCE4's file manager Thunar to be opened, so this is what you have to do: Open the about:config dialog in you location toolbar (or pick it from the Help menu). Now right click onto the configuration entry list, and choose New -> Boolean from the popup menu. Create the following two entries and set them both to true: network.protocol-handler.expose.file = true (Boolean) network.protocol- handler.external.file = true (Boolean) Now choose New -> String from the popup menu, and set the value to thunar: network.protocol-handler.app.file = thunar (String) This will start thunar with containing directory (with a file:// url) as an argument. You can as well use nautilus or konqueror or whatever here. Another possibility is to use open, which would cause firefox itself to open the directory as a file:// url. -- "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looks like Firefox-3 is very near release releasing EC1 and if not blockers found they will push that to final in a few weeks. Yes this is a Firefox bug/feature not sure which at the moment but i see it in Firefox-3 b5 and rc1 both of which are our(Ubuntu-MozillaTeam) builds Im gonna wait and look at a few things to see if we can ship the fix, I will ask our head maintainer about what he would like to do. Thiis can be fixed in Firefox-2 in Intrepid but we are thinking about removing Firerfox-2 just before Intrepid release if we see that Firefox-3 is doing good standing on its feet. - -- Sincerely Yours, ~John Vivirito https://launchpad.net/~gnomefreak https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnVivirito Linux User# 414246 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFILK6bqig4QTwcPCoRApRsAJ9fnf5E2q8w5SyLMcFR1ObAqDb90ACdEffZ PreH8xieGyPUxtJrZpw0TSs= =PNwD -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 133133] Re: "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present
I'm not sure whether it's a Firefox 3 issue myself, but I can confirm that it's an issue with Firefox 2. I reinstalled it when I upgraded to Kubuntu Hardy Heron and the problem still persists. It would be nice if this was fixed for Firefox 2 though since I'm not sure when Firefox 3 is going to stop being beta and then there's the fact that anyone using (K)(X)Ubuntu 8.04 is stuck with this version until October. -- "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No joy in Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 3.5.9 either. It's a tad inconvenient really and this has been a problem for a while now! Two distributions have gone by and this has persisted! -- "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
