I'm not sure why you think it's not, but regardless, I can confirm the
bug.

Michael: any chance you could fix this for beta 4/final, since you fixed
bug 391980?

This is a very annoying problem. Especially when your download folder

I played around modifying another filemanager (thunar), to see which
parameters are given, when "Open Containing Folder" is clicked:

It only gets "/home/rrae/Downloads" as a parameter.

I think that's insuficcient. Whether or not file managers handle
something like...

"/home/rrae/Downloads/somefile.tar.bz2"

... in a way as it is in Explorer is out of scope for this bug report,
imho Firefox should do a first step in this direction.

Title:
  firefox right click open containing folder should highlight file

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  The only reason I am assuming this is a bug is because the
  functionality is in Windows. Basically, if the user right clicks on a
  file in the Downloads of Firefox and selects "Open Containing Folder",
  Nautilus should open with the file highlighted to make the file easier
  to find.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> 
About Ubuntu.
  Description:  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:      10.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy 
packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
    Installed: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4
    Candidate: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4
    Version table:
   *** 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  
  3) What you expected to happen
  I expected my file to be highlighted.

  4) What happened instead
  Nautilus opened, but the file was not highlighted.
