How can I change which application is opening the containing folder for downloads?
In am under Kubuntu 11.04. After a migration from ubuntu, when opening containing folder, firefox asked me what program to use. I did a mistake and entered Dolphin instead of dolphin.
Since then, I have the error message "Failed to execute child process "Dolphin" (No such file or directory)."
What should I do?

Try "Reset Download Actions"
I don't have exactly the same problem.
FF4 never asked me what program to use to open folders, but after I switched (in ubuntu 11.04) from using gnome (actually netbook-launcher-efl) to kde plasma netbook, FF4 kept using nautilus to open the folder where I downloaded something.
This is an ugly way to solve it (at least for me).
Replace "myusername" with your user name in the commands below.
Be careful to enter each command on one line (don't know how to turn off wrapping in this posting system, and not sure if code tags will work in posts).
mkdir -p /home/myusername/.local/share/applications/nautilus-folder/
cp /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop /home/myusername/.local/share/applications/nautilus-folder/handler.desktop
nano /home/myusername/.local/share/applications/nautilus-folder/handler.desktop
Then you change the file to look something like this (to execute dolphin instead of nautilus)
[Desktop Entry] Name=Open Folder TryExec=dolphin Exec=dolphin %U NoDisplay=true Terminal=false Icon=folder-open StartupNotify=true Type=Application MimeType=x-directory/gnome-default-handler;x-directory/normal;inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search; OnlyShowIn=GNOME; X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=nautilus X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=2.32.2.1 X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nautilus

It totally destroyed the formatting in the last part that shows the contents of the file funny,but the preview didn't do this), but basically you change the TryExec=nautilus to TryExec=dolphin and change the Exec to Exec=dolphin %U
So I did and it did not change anything. Still the same exact problem.
Is it really suposed to be a mime type? I thought mime types were for file types, not such a specific case to open a floder?
I don't have nautilus anymore.
Since nautilus doesn't open anyway, I don't see how hijacking nautilus to make it open dolphin would solve my problem?
The ultimate solution:
Save my bookmarks Delete firefox completely from the disk (even config files) Reinstall from scratch.
Thanks for your help, Atn
