Please see http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1854 or
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336541

Basically it could be time to reinvestigate firefox issue, but yes it
makes sense to install the directory handler from Thunar.

I don't have time these days to re-ping upstream about that, I'm
leaving today for 2 weeks, so be patient.
