The issue is caused because when mimapps.list is created the inode/directory= line in the [Default Applications] section is using - nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
This desktop is not in the current nautilus package. Changing the line to one that is installed resolves all issues, ie., nautilus.desktop or nautilus-home.desktop ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: firefox - - There is an inode/directory=<whatever>.desktop in the [Added Associations] section of ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list + Binary package hint: nautilus There are now 2 sections created in mimeapps - [Added Associations] and [Default Applications] As soon as someone opens a folder with an app other than nautilus from the r.click 'open with other application' 2 inode/directory= lines will be created, one in each section - The default will set to nautilus-folder-handler, the added to the app chosen - Firefox is incorrectly using the [Added Associations] section + In the [Default Applications] section the inode/directory= is being set to nautilus-folder-handler.desktop which no longer exists + So in the instances mentioned here (below), the 1st listed in the [Added Associations] sections is being incorrectly used - Ex. + (as mentioned in my final comment editing the line in the default + section to nautilus.desktop resolves (or put back nautilus-folder- + handler.desktop + + + Ex. [Added Associations] inode/directory=vlc.desktop; [Default Applications] inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop - - When doing the r. click, ect. on the Downloads box vlc will be opened + + When doing the r. click, ect. on the Downloads box in firefox vlc will + be opened (there is a gnome shell extension (places dropdown) that does the exact same thing, the dev seems to feel it conforms to specs, irregardless this behavior is wrong here and there.
