don't allow the user to drop a non-internally handled url onto the home button I've seen a end user get the "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (imap) isn't associated with any program" alert on every new window and every start up, because they accidentally dragged an xpi attachment from Thunderbird onto the home page button in firefox. For protocol schemas we can't handle internally, I think we should consider showing the "no drop" indicator when over the home page button.
Summary: don't allow the user to drop a non-internally handled url onto the home button → don't allow the user to drop a non-internally handled urls onto the home button
Severity: normal → S3
