What's the right way to select Thunar as the default app for folders in Firefox? - alowe - 03-27-2018

I tried the following at the Terminal:
Code:
xdg-mime default /usr/share/application/Thunar-folder-handler.desktop inode/directory

But when I select the downloads icon [Image: download.png] in Firefox, then select a folder [Image: folder.png], nothing happens.

The folder exists and xdg-mime query confirms the mime type is set. Although Firefox lists all Applications used to open files by type in its Preferences, this does not include inode/directory. That was the first place I checked.

Does anyone has an idea how to fix it ?

I have similar problem. But in my case instead of Thunar, Linux Updater is launched when I choose to open Downloads location in Firefox.

Kind regards,

Tom
