Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download a file (like a pdf) with Firefox
2.Open the Download Manager
3.Drag the file (using the icon) over the finder
4.Drop it in a folder
Actual Results:  
While hovering over a non-droppable area, the icon change, indicating the drop won't success. While hovering over a droppable area, the icon is normal.

if you have Thunderbird 3.0. Can you see if dragging an attachment to the filemanager or desktop of Mac and see if that works?

I've tested with "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100131 Shredder/3.0.2pre".

In it, dragging an attachment to the same Finder directory that I tried with Minefield is working correctly.

ok, that dnd code is using a different flavor than x-moz-file, x-moz-file-promise so it doesn't help this bug along.

This is the equivalent of Bug 338478 (CF_HDROP on Windows) for Mac.  We'll have to find somebody to implement the Mac equivalent.

Won't block the release on this, but we'd take a patch.

Kyle as you worked on the Windows equivalent, could you explain what's needed to get this working?

Actually now the problem is different, the dropped file is always a .fileloc. But you could give some feedback at bug 846765.
