293849 - Mac: Cannot Drag XPI from Finder into Extension Manager

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 293663

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Paul Querna]

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: 

I downloaded an xpi to disk. I tried to drag and drop it into the extension
manager from Finder.  The XPI would not install with this method.  Tested in
both 1.0.3 and 1.0.4.

Dragging an XPI in Windows Explorer to the Extension Manager Window Works for me.

A work around to install from disk is to open the XPI from File->Open File, and
then you will be prompted to install.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download XPI to Desktop
2. Drag XPI file from Finder window to Extension Manager Window


Actual Results:  
Install of the XPI does not start.

Expected Results:  
XPI should install.

Using OS X 10.4.

I believe this is a dupe of bug 293663 and I am very sure the patch in bug
