Selecting "Show in folder" from the FireFox file download dialogue still opens a new instance of Krusader (my preferred file manager) but now also a Gnome Files instance, both focussed on my selected directory.
This is new in F41, surely not just because I'm now using nVidia drivers not Nouveau? Is there some new setting somewhere that I should fiddle with?

Try System Settings->Default Applications, then File Manager under Utilities.

Thanks Patrick, but that's why I mentioned that Krusader is my preferred file manager. It's already set there, although "there" is system settings->Apps & Windows->Default Applications, in the KDE system settings at least. Are you referring to a Gnome system setting tool? I can't find access to that.

No, I meant the KDE one. You can see the Gnome one by installing gnome- control-center. I run it via a script:
------ #!/bin/sh # Call g-c-c when not running under Gnome
eval XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center ------
Of course that may not show any difference.

I've just tried this with Firefox 134.0a1 which has been installed from upstream not from the Fedora repositories and I get the same thing, although in my case the default file manager is Dolphin. My guess with this is its a Fedora defect. If I change the default File Manage to "Files" then the Firefox show in folder functionality only shows a single Files window. Whether Files is being issued by Firefox or not I don't know (I suspect it may be to make that interface consistent across all platforms) but if it is then it is a KDE defect to launch the default File Manager as well if it is not "Files".
This issue has highlighted a side defect (in my view) in that the default File Manager setting is a drop down, like all the rest of the settings, set to Dolphin, Files and Other, and that setting will not allow the entry to be set to blank. If Other is specified it displays a dialogue to navigate to the app to be used and will not activate the "OK" button until a selection is made.
