Firefox 3’s Places-Drag and Drop Fixed in Nightly Builds
Posted by Kirk M on 17 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: Firefox/Thunderbird
Drag and drop in Firefox 3’s "Places" Library (the old "Organize Bookmarks") now works properly at last or at least in today’s nightly build it does. Everyday for the last week or so the first thing I’ve done after the update to the nightly build installs itself is to head to the "Library" ("Show all bookmarks") to see if I could successfully rearrange things by dragging different items around and dropping them into various folders. Alas, to no avail until this AM when the folder I hovered over with my victim of choice in hand or mouse as the case may be and lo…came the treasured "highlight" that surrounded said folder in a blue glow and as I let my mouse button go the item disappeared into yon folder thusly!
Praise be to all them hard working developers!
I’m guessing that you’ll see this fix incorporated in the beta 4 release due sometime near the end of the month. Now if only they can fix the problem with badly coded sites loaded with flash and huge images causing Firefox 3 to suffer a nervous breakdown we’ll be all set.
