When I download a file and then attempt to "open containing folder"

I get this same behavior no matter what the file type of the downloaded
file is (pdf, zip, whatever).
I've looked at the list of helper applications, which look OK (e.g.,
"always ask" for pdf documents)
Any idea what I've done / how to fix / what setting to check?
The correct entry to look at under Preferences/Browser/Helper
Applications is "file". That one determines how to handle such cases,
independent from the actual file type (it's a protocol handler: SM uses
the "file" handler internally for Open Containing Folder on Linux). The
default action is "Always ask", but you probably selected "Remember my
choice for file links." on the Launch Application dialog at one point in
time.
Note: It seems the Helper Applications data is only read once per
Preferences window. If the data changes, e.g. through making a choice in
a Launch Application dialog, you need to reopen Preferences to see the
difference.
