Firefox has taken over my Directory Tree!

[WasserLand]

Thank you Andre,

But . . . just before I complete the exercise my inode line reads as
follows:

inode/directory=totem-xine.desktop;mplayer.desktop;firefox.desktop;vlc.desktop;gthumb.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-browser.desktop;

Are you saying that I should replace all of that with:
"nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;"
Or do I insert that statement?
