It's clear that either none is paying attention to this or none is able to apply an existing fix. The fix is to edit /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache (as root) and to make it like this:
inode/directory=kde4-dolphin.desktop; That's it. -- 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/1294689 Title: Firefox doesn't use dolphin to open download directory Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Under KDE, if from the download screen I ask to open the folder, I get a strange application, called files, to be spawned to browse the directory, instead of the more natural Dolphin. I am using Kubuntu. How to reproduce: 1. Start Firefox under KDE 2. Download any file from the Internet 3. Open the Download page 4. Within the downloaded file entry, click on the small "folder" icon on the right and wait a little bit Expected result: Dolphin file system browser to be started Actual result: A programm called "files" from GNOME environment is started. Most of the icons in the program are missing as I am running KDE from Kubuntu. This happens 100% of the times.
