It did that on my Brave browser. Does anyone have a clue what’s going on? How come a Gnome window showed up instead of Dolphin…
Did you install Gnome / Nautilus after installing KDE / Dolphin?
Usually, the most recently installed file manager assumes it should become your default file manager.
Also, if you indeed have both the KDE and Gnome DEs, you really shouldn’t use them for the same user account. This issue will be the least of your worries if you do.

I never installed Gnome…maybe it got installed by other programs?..How do I verify and remove Gnome/Nautilus? Thanks.
Run this and post the output here:
pacman -Q | grep -A 0 -E "(gnome|naut)"
You’d then need to find out if you can remove them without causing issues by checking for dependencies with pacman -Qi packagename.
Example: pacman -Qi nautilus.
Once you determine if you need them or not, you may uninstall with pacman -Rs.
Example:
sudo pacman -Rs gnome-desktop gnome-session nautilus
Below is the output of your first command:
gnome-autoar 0.4.5-1
gnome-desktop-4 1:44.1-1
gnome-desktop-common 1:44.1-1
gnome-keyring 1:46.2-1

libnautilus-extension 47.0-3
--
nautilus 47.0-3
--
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 47.1-2
