Running my desired file manager from within the web browser

I would like to run *Nemo* instead of *Xfce*'s default file browser, in my browser. Per https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/487054/clean-way-to-run-proper-file-manager-from-firefox-on-linux/581229#581229 I tried to do: $ mkdir --parents ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/ $ ln --symbolic /usr/share/dbus-1/services/nemo.FileManager1.service ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service To test to see which file manager opens, I ran: $ dbus-send --dest=org.freedesktop.FileManager1 --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/FileManager1 org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems array:string:"file:///home/" string:"" I then rebooted, but nothing changed. I even copied a few more service files and updated their Name field: - /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.FileManager.service - /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.Thunar.FileManager1.service Again nothing changed and *Thunar* still opens. It seems like my settings are entirely being ignored. Any ideas on whats going on, or how can I debug this issue?
