I have an issue that's been annoying the crap out of me and I haven't been able to find a solution. I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I want to drag an image from one tab into the upload field in another tab. This works fine in other browsers, but not in Firefox.

For example, I'm posting an item on Craigslist. I have pictures on the item in Google Photos. I would like to drag the image from the tab showing Google Photos to the upload field in my Craigslist post, but when I do, nothing happens.

I get the same behavior regardless of what web page I'm dragging the image from or what website I'm trying to upload to.

Here is what I get when trying to drag an image from one tab and then drop it in the file upload in another tab. Both tabs are side by side. This error makes sense to me. see screenshot You should record your desktop and show this working in other browsers. I will have to boot into windows to test another browser.

Do you get a forbidden mouse pointer? Any relevant-looking security messages in the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) or in the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J)?
