--- Comment #4 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> ---
I hesitate before closing this, however I do believe that – realistically –
this will not be fixed downstream in the port of Firefox. 

Optimistically: something upstream (I don't know what, maybe the desktop
environment (not Firefox)) might have partially improved in recent
weeks/months, because: 

* previously, if neither Dolphin nor Thunar was open, then using the 
  'Show in Folder' option of the download button menu would open 
  Thunar alone

* today, the option opens both Thunar _and_ Dolphin. 

Maybe related to the above, but probably off-topic from www/firefox: 

* if Dolphin runs before Show in Folder, then an additional Dophin window 
  opens to show the item (and I have not bothered to investigate the 
  cause(s)).

A few months ago, I probably did have one file type (probably .xlsx files
opened from within SharePoint) that persistently failed to open in my preferred
LibreOffice. I vaguely recall that the unwanted application (for this file
type) was editors/linux-wps-office, which fell off my system a while ago, I
have not yet bothered to rebuild and install from ports.
