327882 - URL dragged and dropped on a tab no longer loads the page in that tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 324335

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[IU]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060219 Firefox/1.6a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060219 Firefox/1.6a1

Ever since the check-in that placed the close button on each and every tab, dragging and dropping a URL onto a given tab (in the tab bar) no longer loads the page in the tab on which the URL is dropped.  Instead, it opens a new tab and loads the page in that new tab.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.mozillazine.org/
2. Drag and drop any of the URLs on the active tab (i.e. in the tab bar, but on your active tab - not on an empty region in the tab bar and not on the displayed page).  Notice that URL gets loaded in a new tab. 
3. Compare this behavior with Fx 1.5.0.1 (and earlier).

Actual Results:  
Page gets loaded in a new tab.


Expected Results:  
Page should have loaded within the tab on which the URL was dropped.


Using the installer distribution.  If you use the .zip distribution, YMMV
