| Subject | Firefox / dbus standard file browser application |
| Message-ID | <DtA3f-2ke-9@gated-at.bofh.it> |
I'm Debian stable, Xfce desktop, and have recently gone from Chromium to firefox-esr. Now I discover that in Firefox, pressing "open containing folder" in the "downloaded files" list, opens Thunar, but I want it to open Caja which I use as default file browser. I have already set it where I have found it in settings, as in the "default programs" dialog, and other places, but it seems like Firefox uses dbus to get which file browser to use. Where do I set dbus and Firefox to use Caja instead of Thunar? -- Andreas Rönnquist mailinglists@gusnan.se andreas@ronnquist.net [Please don't CC me, if I mail to a mailinglist, I am subscribed to it.]

Have you tried the Default Applications applet? Right click on the desktop -> Applications -> Settings -> Default Applications -> Utilities. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

Sorry, I translate from my user interface which is in Swedish, and I might not get the correct window titles 100 % correct in English. -- Andreas Rönnquist mailinglists@gusnan.se andreas@ronnquist.net

Then finally firefox uses caja as wanted. This unfortunately removes the Xfce task, but I install my needed packages by hand, so I can live with that. My problem is basically solved, but I would love to find a way to set caja as default dbus filemanager without needing to uninstall thunar. -- Andreas Rönnquist mailinglists@gusnan.se andreas@ronnquist.net
