ok i fixed it after doing a lot of digging.

$ mimeopen Downloads/

Please choose a default application for files of type inode/directory

	1) VSCodium  (com.visualstudio.CodeOSS)
	2) PCMan File Manager  (pcmanfm)
	3) Other...

use application #2
Opening "Downloads/" with PCMan File Manager  (inode/directory)

for some reason installing VSCodium it changed the mime type.

firefox opening wrong program for downloads

good day all
i have a problem with firefox and vscodium (https://vscodium.com/).
before installing vscodium, when i downloaded something with firefox and opened it from firefox (the upper right icon) firefox would open pcmanfm ~/Downloads.
after installing vscodium, when i downloaded something with firefox and opened it from firefox (the upper right icon) firefox opends vscodium.
first this happened with devuan_freia_7.0-202610080327_amd64_netinstall.
so i tried it with devuan_excalibur_6.1.1_amd64_netinstall. samething again.
vscodium when installed it sets itself as defult program, in pcmanfm so duble clicking a text file opens vscodium. that is easy to fix with properties of the text file but firefox
i'm lost.
