Here's the code that constructs and opens the folder path: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/ae8de2241732/xpcom/io/nsLocalFileUnix.cpp#l1819
Note that it is not passed directly to Nautilus on the command line, but instead goes through gnome_vfs_url_show_with_env(). We can't just pass a filename to that function, because that will open the file itself in its app (rather than showing it in Nautilus). However we fix this, we should also make sure that it does not break badly on old versions of Nautilus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599846 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.
