User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1 When a drag and drop of a Windows shortcut to a new tab or the current tab the file does not open. Instead, a dialog box appears and reports a random file in the temp folder "was not saved correctly because of an unknown error. Please try in a different location." File | Open works correctly on the same shortcuts. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create Windows shortcut to any file. 2. Drag and drop the shortcut into the browser. Actual Results: Dialog reporting an unknown error occurred when trying to save a randomly named temp file. Expected Results: The file the shortcut refers to should open like when File | Open is used. No enabled extensions except DOM Inspector and Feedback Agent. No enabled themes. I haven't tried on Firefox 1.5.
