Yes, Mine is opening in nautilus.  But, Brian's
link lead me to this fix.

Essenitally, you open "about:config" in Firefox,
then right click on any entry below and select
"New, String".

For the "Preference name", you enter
       network.protocol-handler.app.file

For the "String", you enter
       /usr/bin/Thunar     (or what ever your path is)

Hope this helps someone else,
