I was having a similar problem with Firefox on Linux Mint 13 "Maya"
MATE. For some reason, SoundConverter was associated with this MIME
type, so that when I tried to "Open Containing Folder" in Firefox, it
would invoke SoundConverter for any download.

By changing the entries in  
     ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list 
from :
     inode/directory=soundconverter.desktop;
to :
     inode/directory=caja.desktop;

functionality was restored.

Thanks!
