292901 - DnD an image will place copy of image in Windows temp folder and does not clean it up

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 220180

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[nrlz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

If I drag-n-drop an image from the browser window to the tab bar or on to an
existing tab, it places a copy of the image in the *Windows* temp folder. And it
does not remove that copy on browser exit or when clicking "Clear Cache" in the
"Privacy" window.

I think this is a privacy concern. Instead, the image should be placed in the
profile's cache folder, and should be removed when "Clear Cache" is pressed.

Oddities:
If I drag-n-drop an image on to *another* browser window or another browser
window's tab bar, this does not happen. It only seems to work if I drop it on
the same browser window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/
2. Drag and drop "Google Logo" on to Tab Bar.
3. Exit Firefox/Suite.
4. Check Windows temp folder (C:\Docs...Settings\Name\Local Settings\Temp\)

Actual Results:  
"logo.gif" is in the Windows temp folder.

Expected Results:  
"logo.gif" should be removed on exit, or should be placed in the Firefox profile
cache so it can be removed through "Privacy" options.
