Probably on one of the systems you have Nautilus installed and on the other you don't..... Anyway... This is a very annoying bug that is still handled very badly... This bug is still valid for FF 29.0.1 in Linux. It turns out that FF (tested on 29.0.1 on Gentoo) when built with dbus support has a wrong way to "Open containing folder". It first calls (instead of checking if exists first and then calling) org.freedesktop.FileManager1 on the session bus and thus if nautilus is installed it is started as "/usr/bin/nautilus --no-default-window" and in this way FF doesn't honor the XDG at all. So for now a workaround is either to delete the /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service or change its Exec to "dolphin" (if you are under KDE, though that may have implications 'cause dolphin doesn't register any org.freedesktop.FileManager1). It needs fix definitely or at least an option to choose in FF preferences Please see also bug #258085 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133 Title: "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Tools->Downloads-> (Right click)->Open containing folder Result: Nothing happens (not even an error).
