In the Nautilus window, use the "edit" menu to open the "preferences",
go over to the "behaviour" tab, and select the unintuitive "always open
in browser windows" option.

Personally, I find Nautilus to be an extremely primitive, annoying, and
slow, file browser.  It's next to useless as a real file manager.  I'd
recommend finding something else if you want to do a lot of GUI-based
file managing.
