Firefox 68.0 - pictures not draggable

Post by ebi_se »

Hi guys

With the latest update (68.0) I can't drag pictures that are open in Firefox to other apps. Before the update I was able to open a picture in the Firefox browser, click and drag it to the Windows taskbar and paste it into another app that is open. I'm using Windows 7.

Any ideas?

Is it a site-specific problem or affects all sites? Does right-click > Copy Image still work?

Seems fine here with Firefox 68 in Windows 7. Worked with my websites and Google images (after clicking on one).

It's not site-specific problem :-(
right-click > Copy Image - works when pasting in Photoshop

Mozilla Support forum has an active thread of users who cannot drag to the desktop in Firefox 68. Do you have that problem, too? https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1256208

Thank you for your answer. I have checked the two suggested solutions (1. creating new profile and 2. uninstalling Firefox), but the problem still persist .

-no-deelevate

I dislike double negatives in general, but that one is turning my head (around).

Surprisingly, there is a support article, but it was directed at Enterprise users so it slipped under the radar: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/windows- ... -error-fix

-no-deelevate and the suggested link from jscher2000 did the job for me.
