FF3: Left mouse behaviour with image files
Hey there,

I looked through several FF3 user guides and took a search in google and here through the forums, but nowhere was explained, what happens - and why - in the new FF3, when I hover over an image, hold the left mouse button and drag it into any direction.
The image seems to follow up somehow connected to the mouse button, but this doesn't do anything.
But what it does, is that it stops me from using the "Drag de go" extension!

Because this way, "Drag de Go" is blocked or at least shows only up after a waiting period.

Can you explain to me this new "feature"? Somehow remembers me of the deviantArt "favorite feature".

Thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards.

Ok, I got an reply in the German forums, that this is normal behaviour for "usability reasons".
Can this be disabled in the about:config or elsewhere?
