Description

[Alexander Lutz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032619 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032619 Firefox/3.0b5

When an URL contains double quotation marks then dragging and dropping the URL from the location bar to the desktop or finder window to create a webloc file will fail. As visual feedback of the failure, the dragged favicon zooms back to the url-bar.
When the double quotes in the URL are removed, the procedure works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open url
2. click and drag the favicon-area to the desktop
3. webloc-file will not be created
Actual Results:  
None (no file created)

Expected Results:  
webloc-file created in the folder the URL was dragged to
