How To Fix Firefox Annoyances

OPEN FOLDER CONTAINING opens Audacious instead of a file manager

Known to work with: [Slack 14.1]

  1. Edit /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
  2. Find the line containing
    inode/directory=
  3. Delete the following string
    audacious.desktop;

This should fix the problem.

Here's a one-liner to do it:

sudo sed -i 's|inode/directory=audacious.desktop;|inode/directory=|' /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

(I made an icon on my desktop with it in the COMMAND line)
