Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1

I can no longer drag and drop links between firefox windows. I used to be able to left-click on a link, not release the button, drag the mouse to another firefox window, and release the button so as to load the URL in the other window. Now after the click as soon as I start dragging the mouse cursor changes from the hand to the regular cursor and I can't drag. Releasing on the other window does not load the URL.

Reproducible: Always

No problem on Windows Vista. 
Have you also tested this in safe-mode or with a new profile?

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and comment on the bug.
