Regression range
- Not sure this is a regression since it reproduces on Fx49 as well, will bisect further when time permits but there could be a bug on this issue already, I just could not find it.

Bugbug thinks this bug is a regression, but please revert this change in case of error.

Too late for a fix in 72, but we could take a patch for 73 or 74.

Does this reproduce on other Linux distros? Older Ubuntu? Wayland? Or just X11-based setups?
The downloads panel just delegates to nsIFile::Reveal, which delegates to the GIO service, which is at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/system/gnome/nsGIOService.cpp, which has file metadata saying this belongs to Fx :: Shell Integration, so moving there.

Hi,
I've tested this using the latest Nightly version 74.0a1 (2020-01-09) (64-bit) for Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and I’m able to reproduce the issue. Based on this I will mark firefox74 flag as affected.
Best,
Clara

Sorry for the late reply.
I've tested a few linux distros I have at hand (Mint and Fedora) and this issue does not reproduce there. I also tried an older Ubuntu (14.04) on which I get the same behavior as in Ubuntu 18.04.

I did go and check if this is a regression or not, I found out that on Ubuntu 18.04 builds after 28.0 RC are affected. 27.0.1 RC is not affected by this issue, file manager is opened in foreground.
