The documentation of `org-open-file' points to variable `org-file-apps'.
You can customize `org-file-apps'.

E.g. the entry

[INS] [DEL] Cons-cell:
            Choice: [Value Menu] Links to a directory
            Choice: [Value Menu] Command: firefox %s

stands for opening directories in firefox.


Ciao
