The recommended way to synchronize a desktop PC with a Nextcloud server is byusing Nextcloud/ownCloud sync clients. You can configure theclient to save files in any local directory and you can choose whichdirectories on the Nextcloud server to sync with. The client displays thecurrent connection status and logs all activity, so you always know whichremote files have been downloaded to your PC and you can verify that filescreated and updated on your local PC are properly synchronized with the server.

Here it looks like Firefox gets the default file manager from KDE -> System Settings -> Personalisation -> Applications -> File Associations -> inode -> Directory where Application Preference Order shows Dolphin at the top of the list followed by Gwenview, PCManFM File Manager.
Hello, I can sadly confirm this being an ugly bug (as it breaks workflows) in firefox for years.On KDE Neon (dolphin being default filemanager) firefox (70.0.1 at the moment) does not care about any settings mentioned above, it always opens containing folder in "nemo" here.One has to rename /usr/bin/nemo AND execute a "killall nemo" before, then xdg settings are respected.
If you search "Open Containing Folder" on -central/search you will find "". So obviously one has to search for "cmd.show". Since I'm not a developer, I can't find the corresponding function (method) that starts the file manager. This snippet could be so revealing - does anyone find it?
Same problem here. Default file manager is spacefm, it is used throughout the system. Only firefox persists on using Thunar for some godforsaken reason. Linux Mint 19 Xfce, inode/directory=spacefm.desktop wherever applicable.
In case someone else has this issue that Firefox opens the wrong file manager go and check your xdg-mime default for x-content/unix-software:in my case it was nautilus-autorun-software.desktop, changing it to nemo-autorun-software.desktop fixed my issue somehow: 2ff7e9595c
