When a drag and drop of a Windows shortcut to a new tab or the current tab the file does not open. Instead, a dialog box appears and reports a random file in the temp folder "was not saved correctly because of an unknown error. Please try in a different location." File | Open works correctly on the same shortcuts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Windows shortcut to any file.
2. Drag and drop the shortcut into the browser.

Actual Results:  
Dialog reporting an unknown error occurred when trying to save a randomly named temp file.

Expected Results:  
The file the shortcut refers to should open like when File | Open is used.

No enabled extensions except DOM Inspector and Feedback Agent. No enabled themes. I haven't tried on Firefox 1.5.
