[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Drag and drop of feed for subscription from browser window to rss account fails sometimes (i.e. for image links)

0. Have a feed account.
1. Go to http://www.faz.net/s/RubDB29CF68A3CB4D2F9654C44465B6AA3F/Doc~EC5F64940809C4BCBBE61EA473A62C10D~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html
2. Drag and drop the rss icon for "RSS-Sport" to your feed account. Nothing happens.
3. Drag the text link "RSS-Sport" to your feed account. Subscription works.

Furthermore:
1. Dragging the 'RSS 2.0' link from the http://www.tagesschau.de/rss-feeds/ (right sidebar) to your account will show a wrong url in the statusbar.
2. Dragging a text url from http://www.welt.de/services/article693142/WELT_ONLINE_als_Newsfeed_und_auf_Ihrer_Webseite.html?print=yes to the feed account also produces a wrong url (it connects url and link title). Here HTTP header for the feeds is wrong. (Once I got to accept the dragged url, but it didn't show up as subscribed.)

Additional dragging text urls from http://www.faz.net/s/RubDB29CF68A3CB4D2F9654C44465B6AA3F/Doc~EC5F64940809C4BCBBE61EA473A62C10D~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html to the feed account leaves their title empty, also causing to break the possibility to unsubscribe them (they simply return).
