Most popular browsers load ALL the files into seperate tabs/windows since ages, and it's time that we see this 'feature' in Firefox too. Still can't believe no one noticed/cared about this lack of usability. Some browsers limit this feature to the tab bar, but IMHO Opera does it much better (-> dropping the files is allowed anywhere). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Drag multiple HTML files 2.Drop them into Firefox 3.Shake your head Actual Results: Just the focussed file becomes opened. Expected Results: All the files should be opened (into seperate tabs/windows).
