when I first start using firefox (almost 3 years ago) I was able to drag any address from the address bar and drop to the bookmark drop list just like that, and it will show up there where I put it and it automatically saves it to my bookmarks. the thing is now I can't drop them there it will not allow me to do so. I don't know if this was a feature in older version only or if it is something from mu windows!! hope you understand what I have I really love that special drag and drop it was waaay easy for me than organizing ALL my sites

Drag the Favicon (small image at the left end of the URL/location bar) to your bookmarks.
