I have no idea if this is possible, but it would be cool if I could drag
multiple HTML files over to FireFox and have them open in tabs.  Current
behavior is to open the first HTML file in the selection.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open FF
2. Select a bunch of HTML files in Windows Explorer
3. Drag them to browser
4. No tabs. :,-(

Actual Results:  
Only the last (or first?) -most file was opened.

Expected Results:  
Opened the files in tabs.

In iCab on the Mac, dragging multiple links to the window opens then all in new
windows. I do this often with 50+ pages (daily comics) I wish that Firefox would
support it as it woudl get me closer to only needing one browser.
