Firefox cannot drag and drop links to open new tabs

Trojanboy — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 01:37:07 GMT

Firefox cannot drag and drop links to open new tabs and select text for search.

This is a very useful feature, multiple computers have failed. I hope the engineer can help me take a look. Thank you. Suspected to be caused by the Add-on Manager.

I have the same issue here. And if I use an add-on with this feature (tried Hyper Drag and Glitter Drag), drag and drop works but will open two same tabs a time.😓

I temporarily use the ’Quick Drag we' plugin instead. I have the same problem as you. My solution is to turn off the "Allow Dragging" option in the 'Add-on Manager', so that only one page can be opened. Overall, the the problem may be caused by the upgrade.

I had the same problem, this function is very efficient, I like it very much, but now it doesn't work, I can't solve it, sad.

This serves as an almost perfect temporary solution here, thanks! Lucky for me to find your post😀 Hope this bug will be fixed soon.

Same problem. Chrome doesn't have such a feature, I hope Firefox is not making itself similar to Chrome.

Umm, I just tried to 'drag a link' to open a new tab and it worked fine for me? Windows 10, Firefox 117.0.
