Fixed issues with drag-and-drop functionality on Linux.
I thought this was a Wayland issue. In the past (when I was on X11), dragging images out from Firefox into my filemanager worked. Good to see this functionality made a comeback.

Same, I couldn't find an open issue for this anywhere. Now if they wanna fix the ability to launch executables from Firefox under wayland I'd appreciate that.

Why would you want your browser to launch executables?
-
Introducing Windows ...

Not arbitrarily. I've just had difficulty launching deb and AppImage packages from within Wayland after downloading them. I have to explicitly navigate to Dolphin and launch them. I know what I downloaded, I want to be able to run it from Firefox's download menu.

For anyone that has to wait for their distro package manager before they get this update, here is a workaround for the most annoying bug (losing the ability to drag/re-order tabs in Firefox):
If the bug is present, you will find that drag-and-drop functionality has seized working in Firefox and it is not possible to select and drag drop images, texts, URLs, tabs etc.
4 Either restart Firefox or do the following to restore drag-and-drop functionality:
a Open another application like a text editor.
b Enter some random text, select it en drag it unto the URL-bar area in Firefox.
This will cause Firefox to try and open the selected text as if it were a URL.
c After this, try step 1 again to see if drag-and-drop functionality has returned.
