[Bug 196202] Re: Places menu FTP servers open in firefox-3.0 instead of nautilus

[brettalton]

Confirmed (and marking as so). I was about to submit a duplicate until I
found this.

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp
 needs_terminal = false
 command = /usr/bin/firefox %s
 enabled = true

Maybe this occurs after 'Preferred Applications > Internet > Web
Browser' is set to Firefox? Did anyone else do this, even unknowingly?
If so, Firefox should not be set for FTP accounts, or there should be a
separate section for FTP under 'Preferred Applications > Internet'. My
suggestion, anyway.

Workaround: Go to 'Places > Home Folder', select 'Bookmarks' in Nautilus
and select your FTP bookmark.

They were closed because they were marked as 'user preferences changed',
however, I never changed Firefox to handle my FTP accounts or, if I did,
as I stated above, I never meant to.
