what are you dragging from the address bar? full url? partial url? the identity button?

identity button

Wfm in I drag the identity button to the toolbar. If I try to drag and drop in the bookmarks menu, it doesn't work.

Dragging a site's identity button to toolbar or bookmark menu worked. However, dragging the tab itself of the "tab-bar" created a preview image of the tab and I could not drag it to either the toolbar or the bookmark menu to create a bookmark. It always opened the tab in a new window.

Reporter please follow the advice from comment6 and also could you see if the issue occurs if using an empty testing profile? (Don't install any addons into it)

I downloaded today's 8.0b1-candidates build1 win32 update.mar and used it to update my firefox 7.0 to 8.0b1.
I can confirm the issue, which has brought me to this bug report.
I can also confirm that restarting in safe mode makes drag to bookmark work well.

I will try to find which add-on is causing the trouble...

My first guess was correct:
Multiple Tab Handler

Disabling it makes drag to bookmark work normally

Comment 10

[JMF]

Sorry for yet another comment... just adding some more info.

The developer of Multiple Tab Handler is aware of this problem.
Similar extensions which deal with tabs such as Tab Mix Plus may also be affected.

When dragging to bookmark with Multiple Tab Handler enabled, Error Console reports an error about TAB_DROP_TYPE not being defined.
Defining it with
    var TAB_DROP_TYPE = "application/x-moz-tabbrowser-tab";
in tabsDragUtils.js and multipletab.js (files from the extension) allows drag to bookmark to work with the extension enabled.

Considering the comments above, setting resolution to Resolved WFM.
