You mean dolphin, don't you? Nautilus is the default Gnome file manager.
To change that, right-click on any folder in Dolphin, and click on the wrench 
icon next to Type:	Folder.
Then you can move Dolphin up in the list that appears. Just "Apply", and it 
should be OK.
If it only opens from Firefox, then I'd say there is something strange going 
on...

I don't know a good solution for that, but if you uninstall polkit-qt the 
dialog should be the gtk dialog again.
