For me at least this is still an issue when using Konqueror as default filemanager. If using Dolphin as the default filemanager, *and* it responds to the `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` dbus interface (this is the default setup in KDE AFAIK), Dolphin gets used appropriately and everything is fine.

Having Dolphin installed and Konqueror as default filemanager will result in Dolphin being used.

In KDE with Konqueror as default filemanager and multiple other filemanagers installed that have a `.service` file for the `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` dbus interface (e.g. having both XFCE's Thunar and KDE's Dolphin installed) may/will result in one of those filemanagers being executed. In my case Thunar was consistently used, until a `ln -s /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.dolphin.FileManager1.service $XDG_DATA_HOME/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service`. See also: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1285711#c47

So:
* If your default filemanager actively listens/responds to the `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` dbus interface, it works as expected
* If your default filemanager supports `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` but doesn't actively listen/respond to it, it depends
* If your default filemanager doesn't support `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` but other installed filemanager(s) do, it's still broken
* If your default filemanager doesn't support `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` and no other installed filemanager(s) do (or you overrule the service so nothings responds to it), it works as expected

Firefox 107.0.1 (64-bit), Slackware64-current, KDE Frameworks 5.100.0, XFCE 4.16, Thunar 4.16.11
