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.
