This bug has been open for 10 years. LOL.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things in my head, but from a design
perspective it sure would be nice if there were a "Folder" file type in
the Applications settings.  Since there are dozens of file managers for
GNU-Linux, and several mainstream desktop environments to choose from, I
would certainly not expect Firefox to read my mind as to what my file
manager preference is.
