It does not open nautilus under my KDE (slackware 10.2 beta + Freerock Gnome) but this is perhaps a very nonstandard Gnome setup. When running Firefox under KDE, none of the normal Gnome-ish processes appear, just the KDE ones. I firmly believe that Firefox is only a GTK application, not a Gnome application. I listed out the libraries that firefox-1.0.6 (as distributed by Slackware) depends on:

It appears to me that the only Gnome-related thing that this Firefox depends on is pango, and I am not at all sure that even pango is necessarily a "Gnome" library per se.

So, in conclusion, I don't think Firefox is a "Gnome application."

If anyone who knows Gnome better has a correction for my perceptions, of course that would be most welcome since I am not in any sense a Gnome acolyte. :-)
