**Environment:**

 - Firefox 124.0rc1, or Firefox 125.0a1 official Nightly built from https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/2333872b0f5028fa1f0e9236440fe58df07a0235
 - Xubuntu 22.04
 - new Firefox profile

**To reproduce:**

Drag&drop a link from an email in Evolution (Evolution installed as flatpak) onto Firefox, either in the browser content area or on the tab bar.

**Expected results:**

Firefox should load the link URL in the same tab (if dropped in the content area) or in a new tab (if dropped in the end of the tab bar)

**Actual results:**

In most cases:
If the link is dropped in the content area, nothing happens.  If dropped in the end of the tab bar, Firefox opens a new tab to search for a sequence of non-ASCII characters that according to Character Map are mostly CJK characters.

With some URLs, Firefox will instead try to load a completely unrelated IDN instead of the dragged URL.

With some URLs, Firefox will instead try to load a completely unrelated IDN instead of the dragged URL.  For example `https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js` will transform into `http://xn--4dmw12honcj4ap0a74lr7ds7bl9bc2jhmc6va99zk1ay74bwpx/`.
