Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open e.g. http://noscript.net/?ver=1.6.8&prev=1.5.6 2. Drag the first link (How NoScript delivers usable security) to Wordpad or even to a firefox edit field. Actual Results: Only the link itself is pasted. http://noscript.net/?ver=1.6.8&prev=1.5.6#basics Expected Results: The link and the link text should be pasted as in FF2. http://noscript.net/?ver=1.6.8&prev=1.5.6#basics How NoScript delivers usable security Definitely a regression as it works in FF2.0.0.14 (and .15).
ADD: This is also valid for dragging urls from the address bar. FF2 copies the page title with the url, FF3 only the url.

I don't know what this bug is about honestly. If I drag a url to a <textarea>, the url itself is copied over, but not the url text. This is also the behaviour in Chrome.

Edgar, do you know anything about this bug? Can we close it?

The link and the link text should be pasted as in FF2.

I guess reporter expect to get the data in

<url>
<url title>

format, which looks like a format of text/x-moz-url to me.
I do see there are some difference on the order of format between FF45 and current release when drag a link, but the content on each format is the same.
I also compare with Chrome, the data is the same, but the order of format is different.
Since this bug is pretty old, lets just close, feel free to open a new bug if you still encounter similar issue.
