User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0

Steps to reproduce:

Create new email; drag and drop image into email body, using 'inline' drop zone (location-A); in the email compose window, drag that image (or any image) to a new position (location-B) in the compose window and release it.

Actual results:

The content/compose window displays the base64 code for the image, instead of the image itself. Base64 code does appear to be in the correct drop-position within the body/compose window.

See screenshot, shows results after initial drop of image into body, and then the result after dragging that image from location-A in the compose window to location-B in the compose window.

Expected results:

I expected it to display the image as an image, within the flow of the content of my email compose window.

Thunderbird version = 153.0.2 ( Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/153.0.2 )
Mac OS 15.7.7

If it matters - this machine is an Apple M4 chip-based hardware, not "Intel...".
