Can't drag or drop in Firefox but i can in IE

I have the latest Firefox. I can't drag or drop anything and this applies both to my laptop [windows 7 ] and my PC [windows 8.1]. Have tried all the ideas already listed on the Forum but to no avail. I can use Copy and Paste. I used to be able to drag and drop in firefox. I can still drag and drop if I use Internet Explorer. Any ideas please

What is it you are dropping? Are they shortcuts?
If the shortcut was created with another browser, then in some
cases, only that browser can work with them.

  • Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Here's the short-cut solution:
    Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
    HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
    Make sense?

  • Can't do any drag and drop in Firefox 12 for Mac OS X 10.6.8

    I am running Firefox 12 in Mac OS X 10.6.8, and have the following strange problem.
    When I try to customise the toolbar, I am unable to drag and drop any buttons onto it! I am see the hand icon, but when I click and drag an item nothing happens.
    Even stranger is the fact that I also can't drag and drop images from Firefox into Finder!
    Are these two problems related somehow?
    Hope someone can help with this.

    I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).
    The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:

  • Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

    I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
    \\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
    It's not a link either, it's just the text.
    I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
    I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
    I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
    I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

    I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.

  • Fast transfers via drag and drop w/ARD, but painfully slow on AFP...?

    So, we've tested this using the same exact file on the same machine (same internet connection and all that):
    If I open up ARD and then control our server with it via my laptop, then I open up my personal afp folder on the server itself via ARD and take a file from my laptop and drag it over to the server folder using ARD, it transfers fast.
    Now, If I try it the 'conventional' way (without ARD open at all) and just go the command+k (or "connect to server") route and try to drag the same file over the the same folder as before, it will take at LEAST 10 times as long, if not more.
    Can anyone explain why this may be occurring? Clearly, it's not the network since transferring a file the first was was lightning fast. So, it's got to be something either on my machine or on the server that the afp folder is hosted on that's choking up with connection somehow.
    Any thoughts?

    I've read somewhere, that ard uses multicasting for distribution of files.

  • Within Music Library can anyone please explain why when I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums?  How can I correct this?  I have tried to 'drag and drop' but that doesn't work.

    Within music Library can anyone please explain why after I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums?  How can I fix this?  I have tried to manually correct by 'drag and drop' individual tracks but that doesn't work.  My music library includes a number of repeat album artwork images simply because not all tracks are being listed under the one album making my library more difficult to use than it should.  Any advise would be appreciated.

  • Drag and drop Firefox issue

    I've encountered a rather annoying problem with drag and drop. Firefox will always accept a drop of a custom component! For example run and drag and drop in firefox:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorialJWS/uiswing/dnd/ex6/DragPictureDemo.jnlp
    Do you know anyway to prevent this (I know IE does not accept the drop...)?
    Thanks very much for any input!

    I have an applet in a webpage that will accept drag
    and drops, however, if a user mistakingly drops into
    the browser page and not the applet, the drop is
    consumed, which is bad especially if you want an
    action to occur whenever a drop happens...
    :(Okay, but the applet provides a target area. So how is it any different from dropping said content on any other app that's in a background window? Make sure the drop area is visually obvious.
    Of course, if Firefox is taking this to be a file to show and then unloading the applet, that is not ideal. But I personally would not worry about such a thing happening that I felt a need to jump thru hoops to find a solution.
    In my opinion this would be a Firefox bug, but was
    wondering if there is a Java workaround. I guess I
    could tell people to just use IE.....You could restrict to IE other ways too, but I really don't see the point. I don't know any other way to change the type except what you already posted. FireFox does support running Java from within Javascript, so this might be a side effect of that.

  • Why can't I open a playlist folder and drag and drop playlists in it?

    I have hundreds of playlists that I am trying to organize via playlist folders. Right now I have to select a single playlist and drag it all the way to the top to the selected playlist folder. That is very tedious and time consuming! I have tried to open the playlist folder and just drag and drop the playlist but no go on that. Is there a way to move multiple playlists at the same time to the same playlist folder?

    Sorry, I misunderstood your question.
    I found no way to drag multiple playlists unless I collect them into a folder first and then drag that folder all the distance.
    But you could try to shorten the way you have to drag the playlist, by collapsing all folders but the one you are working on.
    I keep one big folder, that usually hold all my playlist and playlist folders.
    When I want to rearrange certain folders I move them from this container and close the folder containing all the rest. Then I can move the from one folder to the other without too much scrolling.

  • Can QTMovieView handle drag and drop filename?

    Hi,
    I embeded a QTMovieView on my window. Another control on this window is a list of files stored in a tableview.
    What I would like to do is to be able to drag a file name from the tableview on to the QTMovieView and let it play right away.
    I have tried some drag and drop sample codes, but still couldn't get the QTMovieView to accept the drop.
    I am able to drag a filename onto another third party application.
    I was wondering if it is actually possible for QTMovieView to accept the drop in the first place. I originally assume it's possible since
    it inherits from s NSView, but it seems something is missing.
    When I tried to drag a movie clip onto a stand alone QuickTime player, it just ignores it.
    Any suggestion is really appreciated.
    Steven

    Where have you looked? What did you use? Double-click on the boot volume's Desktop icon, CMD+J, select list view, click on Users triangle, then your username's triangle, then its Library triangle, then its Preferences triangle. In that folder is com.apple.finder.plist. It exists for all user accounts. Without it, your machine won't work.

  • Drag and drop to iCloud drive online

    Can you or can you not drag and drop folders (with files in them) onto iCloud.com iCloud drive?  Apple's support pages say you can, but when I try, it says that "these types of files must be compressed".  So, I can drag and drop individual files but not a folder???  I'm only talking about the web version of iCloud drive, not dragging into the Finder window which obviously works.
    Someone please help!

    Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

  • Dojo drag-and-drop functionality - how to record?

    Hello,
    I am preparing some e-Tester scripts for our project. On one of the pages, the user has to choose some people as team members. This process is dynamic, and is developed and written using dojo (dojotoolkit.org) drag-and drop capabilities. Basically, the following happens:
    1) Initially, user has an empty "Search" form on the left and an empty "Team members" form on the right
    2) User enters some search string in the "Search" field on the left and presses the "Search now" button. The "Search" form will be filled with matching employees from the database.
    3) User moves some of the employees to the "Team members" field via drag and drop
    At the moment, I am having troubles recording the drag and drop part of the process. I tried recording all the events for the draggable sources and their targets, but it did not work (it seemed that the needed onmouse* events were recorded, but it still did not work). I also tried taking a snapshot of the needed page state, but it did not work since the drag and drop had nothing to do with the forms (dojo cuts parts of the html and pastes it elsewhere when drag and drop occurs). I even tried to fire the (not sure here) right events on the affected elements through PI, but it still did not work. Do you have any solutions, or maybe a suggestion I could try?
    You can download the dojo toolkit from http://dojotoolkit.org/downloads and do some testing on a standalone example (dojo/tests/dnd/test_dnd.html) there, it is using the same mechanics.

    That was the last thing I tried. I used FindElement to get access to the html elements dojo is "using" for drag and dropping. Then I FireEvent 'ed on those, trying to replicate the steps important for dojo DnD (drag and drop) - mostly onmouse* - but it just didn't work.
    It might have failed either because I played a wrong sequence of events (dojo has practically no information available on the event sequence needed for DnD, though it is clearly written which events are actually used) or e-Tester failing to keep its control on the elements properly (since dojo is actually changing those elements className a lot during DnD).
    So if anyone was able to steer dojos DnD like that successfully, maybe they could post a right sequence of events needed (should be something like: mousedown on the DnD item, mouseover on DnD target and mouseup on DnD item with - maybe - something inbetween).
    I would really appreciate it if someone could also explain me how exactly the the whole FindElement/get Object/do stuff with that Object business works. For example in my PI program I have:
    Set DnDSource = RSWApp.om.FindElement("DojoUnique12", "div", "id")
    So what I get is actually an object DnDSource - and abstraction - which is somehow tied to the html source the browser is looking at. How is this object connected to the html source? If I start FireEvent ing the DnDSource, what is actually happening every time? e-Tester searches the current html source each time we access DnDSource in some way, using the provided " it is a div with id=DojoUnique12" information? Or does it work in some other way? If some other property (e.g. className) of that div changes after some event, will DnDSource still reference it properly? What if its id changes? What if the element is cut and pasted elsewhere in the html source by the JavaScript at some point?
    Thanks for the help )

  • Running application from installer in vista prevents drag and drop

    Running a desktop application from Vista and Windows 7 through a wizzard, prevents doing a drag and drop from the desktop or another windows explorer to our java application.
    We are using a windows wizard to install the application once it finishes it launches the application within the application the drag and drop work perfectly, but I can not drag from desktop or external windows explorer into my application, dragging from the application to the desktop or to another windows explorer is working fine.
    If we run the application by clicking directly on the exe file (generated by the installer app), the application launches and do not present the anomaly (Drag and drop into a out side the applications work fine).
    So the issue might be related to the way the installer executes the application, that maybe have a different configuration or windows permissions are not set correctly when started by the installer.
    Both ways of launching the application have the same working directory the only difference i found was in the system environment (System.getenv()) the one that works has a SESSIONNAME key with a CONSOLE value in it, could this be the problem?
    Any idea on how to workaround this issue or some idea to look at the installer will be kindly appreciated.

    One idea is to use [Java Webstart|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp] *(<- link)* as your installer. It might not fix the D'n'D problem, but at least if you get to the point of telling Sun about it, they will care (at least) one iota about fixing it.

  • Image drag and drop

    Hi all,
    I am writing a program, with 2 JPanels, the first one is with 4 images (JLabel), I need to drag the images and drop on second JPanel. When the image is dropped, it should also allow dragging to desired position in that JPanel(through MouseMotionListener).
    I read a lot of examples about DnD, TransferHandler, I knew how to implement drag and drop between JPanels, but still have no idea how to implement both. Can anyone advise a brief idea how can I do.
    Thank you so much....

    Read this: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=516990
    It shouldn't be a big streach to convert the panel to an image.
    If you have problems after trying this out, repost.

  • Wacky Drag and Drop issue with JNLP

    I'm sure I'll have to be a bit more descriptive but I'll just throw this out and see if anyone has any suggestions.
    I've got a swing app which is an administration tool to a rules engine I have built. I distribute the app to users using JNLP 1.2.
    Here's the problem. When I launch the app using JNLP, a portion of the app does not work. There is a panel in which I allow users to drag items off of a tree and onto a panel. They can drag and drop one item but when they attempt to drag and drop a second item it doesn't drop. If I take that same code which is being distributed via JNLP, copy it to the local machine and run it, it works. I can drag and drop all day long.
    There are no exceptions, no errors or funny gooey state things going on. I start the drag, the mouse pointer changes, I hover of the drop zone and let go of the mouse and it appears to drop, but the component does not show. Wacky.
    Does this set off any bells to anyone?
    Thanks,
    - Jay
    App compiled using 1.4.1_01.

    Ah ha.. Yes this does seem to the issue. Thanks for the response. I've tested it on a couple of machines and it works on the one's with 1.4.1 and it doesn't seem to work on 1.4.0 jre machines.
    NEW Question though, if I set my .jnlp to:
    <j2se version="1.4.1+"/>
    I get the 'ol 'Error Code 11 (11 Could not locate requested version'
    Is there any way to get this guy to auto-install???
    I've installed JRE 1.4.1 manually and it doesn't seem to pick that up either.
    Thanks...

  • GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

    Hello,
    In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
    Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
    * Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
    But I can't make it working.
    As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
    In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
    Has anyone been able to make it work?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
