When I try and drag a movie to a different location in my Netflix queue nothing happens.  I have tried a variety of locations in the list item to find the hot spot and can't get anything to happen.  I had some problems with this in the earlier FireFox release where it was available sometimes but not at other times.

1.Open a queue of netflix movies
2.Attempt to drag a movie to a different location in the Queue.
3.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:

I can confirm this for the current Firefox 3.1 nightly on OSX:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre)
Gecko/20080904020533 Minefield/3.1b1pre

With the same user profile, on Firefox 3.0.1 stable moving movies around the queue works fine, but in 3.1b1 it just selects the text (regular, non-ajaxy behavior).

Somewhere along the development process, I suspect that this bug was fixed because I've been using Firefox to manage my Netflix queue for more than 2 years without problem.  However, since upgrading to Ver 7.0, the queue page does not function properly with FF.  (No problem managing queue with IE 8).  I have been able to drag items to a different location, but I cannot delete an item.  After clicking on the "X", the item disappears and the row is blank.  However, where I press the refresh queue button on the page, the item is restored to it's previous row in the queue.

Please give this bug some attention.  There are many more Netflix (and Firefox) users than there were in 2008 and I don't believe I'm going to be the only one with this issue.

Concur with WFM (since at least early 2011 and Firefox 5), just re-confirmed in Firefox 11 (Aurora).

Resolving WORKSFORME per comment 3 and comment 4.

I think Netflix itself has changed since this bug was originally filed, in addition to the many changes that have happened in Firefox. If you have further problems with reordering the Netflix queue, I'd recommend filing a new bug.
