When a Chimera window is showing full-page plug-in content, dragged links cannot
be dropped on that window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new Chimera window
2. Access the URL
3. Open another Chimera window
4. Access [http://www.mozilla.org/]
5. Drag the "At A Glance" link to the first Chimera window

Actual Results:  
The dragged link was refused when dropped; it rebounded back to its' original
window.

Expected Results:  
Chimera should have displayed the link in the desired window.
Not sure how we'd fix this.

Mozilla also has this problem. I would guess that it is related to the fact that
full page plugin instance has no "Context" object... I may have referenced the
wrong missing object... peterl can correct me...

If full-page plugins had a DOM, I'd bet this would work. See bug 90256.
Depends on: 90256
Well, I doubt it. I think if the drop happens over the plugin, the event gets
eaten by the plugin, and gecko never handles the drop.

Changing summary. Seems to me this is a browser bug as FF and Mozilla have the
same issue. Can't find a suplicate.

Define "interesting".  It's still an annoying bug, but not one that will ever be fixed in Widget:Mac....
