create an URL file by dropping an URL from the browser window to the finder
desktop.
drag this file back to a browser window.

result: you get an empty window showing an URL like
file:///Platte/Users/tom/Desktop/www.apple.com%2Fde%2F.webloc

What does this have to do with accessibility apis?

Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002052918 (rv1.0.0), but I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate.

I'm not sure if this is the same bug, but I also have a drag'n'drop problem:
DVDPedia (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22365) is a DVD
manager which accepts dragged IMBD.com entries from Safari. Search for your
movie in imdb.com and the simply drag the URL from the address bar to DVDPedia
and it will retrieve all the data. This works like a charm with Safari but not
with Moz/Firefox. I guess it has to do with non standard dnd behaviour. Please
anyone confirm that this is related to this bug or I'll post a new one.
