Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 179845

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, enhancement)

Description

[Greg Campbell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040402 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040402 Firefox/0.8.0+

A link dragged to the "new tab" button should be opened in a new tab. When a
user has the tab bar hidden (which is by default), there is no way to drag a
link to the tab bar.

This is really minor, but it seems like a logical interface decision.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag a link to "new tab" button.


Actual Results:  
Pointer changes to "no" symbol.

Expected Results:  
Pointer changes to "drop" symbol and will open the link in a new tab.
