Bookmarks in Places menu now open in Firefox instead of nautilus

Fresh install 10.10 all my bookmarks mainly ftp and ssh bookmarks open firefox and show a web based file browser instead of spawning a nautilus window. have no idea what caused this never seen this before. This kills me on this machine to not be able to transfer/edit remote files right from my places menu.


Right click a folder, go to Properties -> Open With, and change the associated program to Nautilus. If there is a checkbox for "always use this program" make sure it's checked.


Open /usr/share/applications and find the entries:

x-directory/normal
x-directory/gnome-default-handler
inode/directory

make sure they equal to:

nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
