When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).

The file manager I'm using is nemo.

I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.

Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

Does Firefox's present or previous download manager not do what you wish ?

Not exactly no, however I've since discovered that it sort of does. The version on linux (at least on mint) will open the containing folder and highlight the file if you left click a download (which on windows would open the file), or if you choose open container folder, it opens the folder but doesn't highlight it.

So although it is work-round-able, it's not consistent with the windows version.

I have the exact same problem. The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager. I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet. If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised. If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet. What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager?
