Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 199328

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030409 Phoenix/0.5+

Initially I was on news.google.com and tried to drag the link from the address
bar to a toolbar or bookmarks menu.  This would only create an empty bookmark. 
Subsequently, this feature stopped working altogether.  i.e. although the mouse
icon and other visual cues indicated a drag drop would occur, a bookmark was not
created when dragging the link to either the menu or toolbar

This is part of bug 199328.

I think that the feature stops working when you try to drag a link with cgi
variables appended to the address, i.e. www.mypage.com?bug=1

Sure, but it's part of bug 199328 all the same.
