[solved] Some issues with MATE
Hi,
That must be easy and dumb, but I don't know how to solve it. When I'm on the Mozilla Firefox box of recent downloads, choose one and right click to open its location, Firefox ask me what application do I want to use to make that. I think it's lost because of the change between nautilus and caja, but I don't know where is caja to tell Firefox to use it.
Also: after installing caja-gksu, when I want to open a place with "open as root", it tries to open with... VLC!! Probably, its the same issue...
Any help, please?

Re: Some issues with MATE
Ok, the first topic solved the firefox issue. Thanks, axl!
Nevertheless, I still can't open as root; the system tries to open the location with totem.

axl,
OK, reading other topics, I changed
to
That solved the issue. The one thing I lost was the usual different color when I open as root. Do you know how to fix this?
Thanks a lot
