Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Tools-->Downloads-->Open in containing folder opens the file itself and not the folder!

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty

Firefox is version 3.0.13.

How to reproduce the problem:
1. With Firefox download a file like http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.31-rc9.bz2 anywhere in the file system tree.
2. In firefox pen Tools-->Downloads
3. Right-click on the download just done and select "Open containing folder".
4. You get a dialog box titled "Launch application" asking you on how to run the downloaded file.

What I would expect is to get a dolphin instance opened on the folder containing the downloaded file.
