cannot use "open containing folder" in Firefox

Asked by Rudra Sankar Chakraborty

Hi,
  After i upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 I am facing some issues. First of all the update manager does not do its job as it returns with PACKAGE BROKEN. Secondly I cannot see the downloaded items in the firefox as it comes with the message" THIS LINK NEEDS TO BE OPENED WITH AN APPLICATION. CHOOSE FROM THE LIST" I am ignorant enough to choose the right application. Please help.
