Drag and drop images from firefox, to folders and applications

[xJohnx]

This is an already implemented feature on Edge, Chrome, Safari and even Opera.
When you drag drop images from WEB pages to folder or apps, Firefox keeps pasting URLs instead of images real files. Please add this feature as it's super useful.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

for some reason if you drag a image into desktop it will save as a image file, but if you drag it into a folder it will only save as a url.

Yes plz!

This should have hundreds of up-votes. The current behavior of saving as a URL causes grief for unsuspecting users. They expect to get a file when dragging to a folder.

Please, implement this feature. Thanks!

What you get when dragging with Firefox depends on the content. Sometimes you'll get a URL (with a long name that is difficult to delete) and sometimes you'll get a file. I can recreate the URL issue if the web item is a base64 encoded image. Chrome based browsers always yield a file for base64 links.

just upgraded from Ubuntu Mate 20.04 to Ubuntu Mate 24.04 and find the Firefox behaviour quite different.  images do not drag and drop to the Desktop any longer.  the result of the drag and drop is now a URL link.  quite inconvenient to have to actually do a full save file for what WAS a quick hand motion.

noting that the drag and drop behaviour is still available in Chrome.  there are other little things that have happened over the last few years but this is becoming quite a nuisance and may prompt my move to Chrome.
