Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 149418

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[tarotseeker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Firefox allows the selection of the address in the address bar and the dragging
of this address, However, this address is not recognized by the dock for some
reason.  This is very frustrating, especially since safari and internet explorer
both allow the dragging of addresses directly to the dock.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open any webpage
2.select the address in the location bar
3.try to drag it to the dock,
4.nothing happens
5.now try this in safari.  works like a charm

Actual Results:  
selection of address and drag works. (i can drag an address to the desktop,) but
dock doesn't recognize that I am dragging anything to it.  other icons do not
move over and link icon will not appear.

Expected Results:  
dock should recognize the address being dragged to it, dock icons should move
over to make room and link icon should appear in dock.
