Hi :) Regarding #1, I haven't seen any Linux file manager do that. What kind of UI interaction in Firefox would you expect to trigger the selection/highlight of files in a file manager? I only know of options to either open/execute a downloaded file or opening its parent folder from Firefox. Regarding #2: I just tried it on my system and even installed Caja to provoke this behavior but it still opens with Konqueror by default. Then I read https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/504071 ... and added the following line to my "$HOME/.config/mimeapps.list" file: inode/directory=caja.desktop I didn't even need to restart Firefox, it already opened Caja the next time I clicked on the little folder icon next to a downloaded file in the downloads list. As soon as I removed that line from the aforementioned file again, Firefox returned to using Konqueror instantly. Can you check if you have such "inode/directory" entry in your "$HOME/.config/mimeapps.list" and remove it if there is any? If there isn't any such entry you could try adding "inode/directory=konqueror.desktop" instead.
