thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 9•1 month agoFixed 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.
Flatfire ( @Flatfire@lemmy.ca ) 5•1 month agoSame, 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.
lemmyvore ( @lemmyvore@feddit.nl ) English6•1 month agoWhy would you want your browser to launch executables?

Flatfire ( @Flatfire@lemmy.ca ) 1•1 month agoNot 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.
drspod ( @drspod@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 month agoFor 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.
