Drag & drop not working (since 2-3 weeks ago)

Hello! To create my website newsletters, I simply dragged the items from Firefox to the HTML editor and it inserted them without any problem, even keeping the links. For me it was perfect. But since an update about 3 weeks ago, it no longer works. When dragging, I get the "forbidden" icon. I can still do it from Chrome, but a)it's not what I want and b)chrome doesn't copy the links. What has changed, or what can I do? I am using Windows 10 Edge also copies the item, but without the links, as Firefox used to do.
