I use XFCE4 and one annoying thing was firefox was opening Nautilus when clicking the Open Containing Folder option in the Firefox Download dialog box

Using a Terminal open nautilus
In Nautilus right click on a "folder" object in the window of Nautilus.
Choose "Properties"
Go to the "Open With" tab
