IMHO, dragging some text (non-link) to the "Go" button should cause Firefox to act if that exact text was entered into the address bar.  So, then if a user drags and drops onto the "Go" button a text URL (non-link), Firefox should open the URL.  Then if some regular text is dragged and dropped there, Firefox should initiate a Google search/I'm Feeling Lucky for that text.  This MAY require for Bug 347714 to be fixed for this enhancement to be implemented in Bon Echo nightlies.

The Go button is now a Go button only, when you are focused in the Location bar and it is empty. Otherwise it is Reload button.
If I drag a text link to Location bar, it visits the address. Reload/Go button doesn't react to this sort of drag'n'drop.
