From the linked bug:

To fix it, do the following:

* Open the Computer from the Places menu
* open a partition, which does have some folders in it
* right click on any folder
* select Open with Other application from the context menu
* select the File browser as the app to open with
* make sure the "remember this application for 'folder' files" is checked
* click OK
