Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.enter any website into the navigation toolbar 2.click the icon for that particular URL and drag downward to the bookmark toolbar 3.when trying to release, a black circle with a line through it appears and nothing happens... no transfer Actual Results: absolutely nothing Expected Results: created a link for that URL with it's icon on the bookmark toolbar problem did not start until doing a reinstall because mozilla would not remember passwords
Summary: drop and drag function (with any URL) from navigation toolbar to bookmark toolbar does not transfer... where there should be an "arrow with a dashed box" indicating a good drop, there is a bold, black circle with a line through it. → drop and drag function (with any URL) from location bar to bookmark toolbar does not transfer... where there should be an "arrow with a dashed box" indicating a good drop, there is a bold, black circle with a line through it.

I am seeing this with Deer Park builds: Windows 2005-07-01-06-trunk Mac 2005-07-01-07-trunk When you attempt to drag and drop a favicon to the bookmarks toolbar, the tooltip "Drag and drop this icon to create a link to this page" temporarily blocks dropping. It persist after clicking the favicon. It should disappear upon clicking the favicon. Unfortunately, I can't reliably and repeatedly reproduce this. I usually don't confirm without reliable steps. But I did see this repeatedly on Mac until something cleared it up. And, there are several bugs on file regarding tooltip issues which may be related/dupes: bug 271504 (tooltips appear in wrong place) bug 275212 (dupe of this) bug 274801 (tooltips persist after DnD) workarounds: 1) move away from the tooltip, then drop or 2) wait a few seconds for the tooltip to disappear, then drop

Comment 2, above, describes a different problem than the original. I have filed a new bug 312852 for the problem described in comment 2.
this bug was confirmed by tracy in comment 2 whose bug was spun off per commment 3, so there is no confirming information. marking this one WFM - FF 1.5 smkagrise01 if you still have a problem try FF 1.5 in safe mode and reopen the bug?.
