I use Linux Mint. When I download some file and then click on "Open Containing Folder" button it opens Nautilus file browser. Default file browser on my computer is Nemo, so I would like to always use it.

It is possible to Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files. Please open the following options to find that menu:

  1. Open Options/Preferences
  2. Open Applications
  3. Select the action desired

However if the item is not there, Is that file explorer the default explorer on the linux machine? Or please also see http://askubuntu.com/questions/267514/open-containing-folder-in-firefox-do...
