> I tried to do the exact same thing with the feed URL of https://selfgrasp.com and it still doesn't work. Anyone has a solution?

I can confirm this issue. The problem is that the mail-urlfield widget has no dragstart event handler: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/681917dc07145ac754b2315ce32091461f315f90/mail/base/content/mailWidgets.js#85

I could confirm that the following addition here is sufficient:

    this.addEventListener("dragstart", event => {
      event.dataTransfer.setData("text/x-moz-url", event.target.textContent);
    });
