Details

The drop event does trigger when one attempts to drag-and-drop an image to the tab with Photos, but their code is checking for event.dataTransfer.types to have 'Files':

      Cs(a) {
        _.ta(a.event.dataTransfer.types, 'Files') && TFe(this) && (this.ha = 0, this.oa(), QFe(this.ka, a))
      }

But event.dataTransfer is actually null in this case, so Photos gets no actual images to work with.

Some more info/screenshots are available on the webcompat.com report from which I spawned this bug.

This seems likely to be a dupe of (or at least related to) bug 1437126.
