If it's the same thing as an older problem, then you've probably
associated opening folders with another application, instead of the
usual thing happening (Nautilus opening a list of the folder, on Gnome,
and KDE doing something similar).  If so, you could try the following:

On your desktop, or in a file browser, right-click on a folder, open the
properties for it, and change the open-with preference to something more
sensible.

It was common, and perhaps still is, to suffer that problem if you
right-clicked on a folder, and opened the folder with something like a
music player, or picture viewer program.  It became a permanent setting,
rather than something that only happened there and then.
