I have been using kubuntu in laptops since 13.04 version.
Now I use kubuntu 14.04.1 in my Dell Latitude 5530 and a small Asus eeepc 1215b. I have always had exactly the same problem in both laptops: when trying to open the download folder in firefox Gwenview is the result instead of Dophin.
I am currently trying to apply the various workarounds that are suggested here, but for the moment I have skip kubuntu all the times that I'm asked to install a GNU/Linux distribution in other's people PCs because of this annoying bug.

Title:
  Firefox doesn't use dolphin to open download directory

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Under KDE, if from the download screen I ask to open the folder, I get
  a strange application, called files, to be spawned to browse the
  directory, instead of the more natural Dolphin. I am using Kubuntu.

  How to reproduce:
  1. Start Firefox under KDE
  2. Download any file from the Internet 
  3. Open the Download page 
  4. Within the downloaded file entry, click on the small "folder" icon on the right and wait a little bit

  Expected result:
  Dolphin file system browser to be started

  Actual result:
  A programm called "files" from GNOME environment is started. Most of the icons in the program are missing as I am running KDE from Kubuntu.
  This happens 100% of the times.
