process.start("explorer.exe", QStringList() << "x:\path\xx\");
and running
and to open browser + url runnig to on window...
process.start(browser, QStringList() << url); /* browser is the full path to exe */

void Tab_Oggetto::OpenPath()
{
    /* apri cartella pathfileroot */

    xapri.replace(QString("/"),"\\");
    qDebug() << "### pathfileroot "  << xapri;
    #if defined(Q_WS_WIN)
        QProcess process;
        process.setReadChannelMode(QProcess::MergedChannels);
        process.start("explorer.exe",  QStringList() << xapri);
        if (!process.waitForFinished()) {
          QMessageBox::information( this, tr( "Errore del sistema operativo" ),tr("Explorer non risponde. Aggiornate Window update! Errore ritornato %1").arg(process.errorString()));  
         } else {
              qDebug() << "### reade "  << process.readAll();
         }

Use the OSX "open" command, e.g:

process.start("open", QStringList() << "x:\path\xx\");
process.start("open", QStringList() << url);

Both will open the directory file/path with the correct application respectively. In this case that will be the Finder and the default web browser.

To specifically use Firefox, you can use "open -a", e.g:
process.start("open", QStringList() << "-a" << "Firefox" << url);
