+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2035162 +++ Description of problem: Thunderbird doesn't react at all when I try to drag-and-drop a link from Firefox that I want to attach to a mail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-91.3.0-2.el8_4.x86_64 firefox-91.3.0-1.el8_4.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open web page with link to file in Firefox 2. Open new mail in Thunderbird 3. Click and drag link from Firefox to new mail window Actual results: Nothing at all happens. If I release the mouse button a text version of the link is inserted in to the mail body. Expected results: Thunderbird shows the attachment drop area and attaches the file when I release the mouse button. Additional info: Works fine on Fedora with almost the same versions: thunderbird-91.3.0-1.fc34.x86_64 firefox-95.0-1.fc34.x86_64 --- Additional comment from Pierre Ossman on 2021-12-23 12:50:14 UTC --- My bad. Thunderbird 91.3.0 is broken on Fedora as well. It is Thunderbird 91.2.0 that works (at least on Fedora). Verified by downgrading. So this might be an upstream issue.

I'm afraid this issue remains in the latest Thunderbird. It seems this got resolved in the past, then went broken again in 91.3. Here is the older bug report upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1676094
