User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0 Iceweasel/6.0 Build ID: 20110820100610 Steps to reproduce: Drag an image from a website and drop on an application that accepts drops. Actual results: On Linux (X11) the event does not contain image mime data (image/*). Firefox running on Windows has this data available! Only text/uri-list is defined and contains image URL. Expected results: Image data mime type should be defined and contain raw image data in it's original format (image/png, image/jpeg, etc.) Chrome provides such data properly on Linux.
