GNOME standard is 'Folder'. The reason for this is not just that this
terminology is used on the Macintosh, Windows, etc, but also that it
is much more obvious and intuitive to users. A directory is something
like a phonebook. How can files be "inside" a directory?

(It's also the GUI metaphor used with folder icons...)

If Firefox uses 'directory' anywhere within its user interface when
used within GNOME, that's a bug that should be reported (but it seems to
use Folder in a quick look). Same for OO.o, though OO.o is a lot
harder to get those kinds of fixes done in."

And Owen is right, Firefox uses "folder" here too and not "directory"
