Reproducible: Always

As a documented feature, I think we should fix this in 3.0 or 3.0.1...

I don't really understand what the various flavors are used for (presumably text/x-moz-url is the relevant one here?), but I assume this just reverts to the Firefox 2 behavior of using the escaped URL. The less common case of having a modified URL bar when dragging probably isn't worth worrying about (the favicon is related to the current site anyways).

text/x-moz-url is used for the desktop
text/unicode is used by simple text editors
text/html is used by rich text editors

Dragging won't work if the value is modified since PageProxyDragGesture() checks for pageproxystate=="valid".

FYI, this seems to work fine on MacOS.  Dragging the URL to the desktop and then opening it from the desktop works great.

Favicon drag works fine now on XP. I tried it on RC2 and nightly.

One question, though: Is dragging the URL (not the favicon) to the desktop suppose to create a file as well? 

I ask because that does not work, but the favicon drag does.

No.
Ok then this is confirmed for RC2 and nightly.
Ok, thanks.
