Note: This applies to Firefox 3 only.
One of the ‘new’ features in Firefox 3 is a graphical preview of the images, text, tabs, etc. your are dragging. This was suppose to make it easier for you to see where you were dragging the item. For text it is not too bad, but for images I found the preview makes it more difficult to properly drag and drop. Good news is you can easily turn off this feature and return to the familiar ‘box’ outline for drag and drop as in Firefox 2. To turn off this feature:
- In a new tab type about:config
- In the filter field type nglayout.enable_drag_images
- Double-click on the entry below so the value is false
- Close the tab (no restart needed)

Is there any way to enable dragging images from webpages to Photoshop to open them? I really miss that feature from Fx2
thank’s for your information…
disable image
i’m not undestand
I’m with the #1313 comment — I miss the feature of being able to drag and drop from Firefox to other applications, it seems this is not possible now. I used to drag images from the web into Google Talk — great for collaborating on a project and wanting to show thumbnails of stock photos to my partner.
Now when I drag and drop it just pastes in the link to the photo rather than the photo itself.
The same problem exists with the preview on or off — doesn’t affect this.
Any help would be appreciated
Yeah. I agree with the previous comment totally. Picture drag & drop is greatly missed. Quite frankly, that spoiled whole fun of Firefox 3 for me.
Does this have anything to do with the inability to drag and drop images into your MSN Messenger to use as Display pics as well? It doesn’t seem to work for me anymore and I was wondering if there’s a way to fix that…
come on mozilla, fix it!
