JPEG images displayed in FF7 can't be dragged into Word

If one opens a URL specifying (only) a JPEG image ("http://server/image.jpg", say) in an empty FF7 window on Windows-XP or Windows-7, then FF7 correctly displays the JPEG image in this browser window.

But when one tries to drag this image from the browser window into a Microsoft Word 2003 or Word 2010 document on Windows-XP or Windows-7, only the URL appears in the Word document: the image itself is not dragged into the document. In IE7 or IE8 on Windows-XP or Windows-7, the image in such a page is dragged into the Word document.

How can we get URL-specified images displayed FF7 on Windows-XP or Windows-7 to drag into Word 2003 or Word 2010?

Thanks for your time.

Try

  1. right-click on image
  2. copy image
  3. paste image ("Ctrl+V") into MS Word

If you want to be above to do more, you might try installing the "Launchy" extension, it allows you open the page in another browser, open the link in another browser, etc, open a picture in an image viewer, image editor.

Hi, dmcritchie --

Thanks for taking the time to reply, and to reply so quickly.

Copying & pasting would be an acceptable approach if one could not drag & drop from IE. But since that does work, I need to understand why dragging and dropping from FF7 doesn't work with Word. (I have to support this task for a bunch of users.)

Likewise, IE doesn't seem to need addons to do the image drag & drop, so I need to know why FF7 would need an addon -- why this doesn't "just work".

I'm grateful for your time. I'm convinced that you or someone can point me to what's wrong, even if it turns out to be "Word detects that FF is the source and only takes the URL." :-/
