Steps To Reproduce

1) Download a file in Firefox.

2) Choose to show in folder:

Result:

Requirements

Mimic behavior of File Explorer, open folder in a new tab, but scroll to and select the respective file.

Thanks for the report, I've added this to the project board.

Is this fix rolled out? In Preview 3.3.3.0 opening file location from Edge still doesn't navigate and highlight the file. Basically, now for me this is the only reason why Files is not a default manager so far...

It's not fixed yet.

Files launcher is a bit unstable for now. We'd be glad if someone work on this.

Would be nice to have this indeed, this is super useful when you download something off the internet
