Hi,

I am unable to drag an image that is downloaded onto my desktop. I am using a Mac with the latest version of the Firefox browser. I see a circle with an slash through it when I try dragging an image onto my desktop.

Hi ArtistQ, where do you normally drag the file from? Is it the Downloads list (Command+J)? Or do you mean from the web page to the desktop?

Hi, thank you for your quick response! I meant from the webpage to the desktop. I have firefox 111.0 and the version before this one allowed me to just drag a download from the browser to the desktop. I have attached an example of a download in the browser and then an example of me dragging it to the desktop.
