Drag and Drop PDFs and Office files not working in Outlook

more options

Hi, there! I was able to drag and drop directly from my dropbox to outlook in firefox as of Friday. This morning, I can no longer do that. I'm only trying to attach documents (PDF, Office docs) to email in Outlook, and it still works in other browsers like Safari, jut not on Firefox. I need help getting the option to work again. I am on a MAC 10.13.6 with the latest Firefox updates. I thought it might be my computer but with it working in other browsers, I wanted to see if I could get it fixed here. Thanks!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for reporting this. I also saw it mentioned on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/tvwflz/cant_drag_and_drop_attachments_in/

I see the same on the "consumer" platform (outlook.live.com).

Firefox's last update was about 10 days ago. Since the problem started so recently, I suspect it might be a change made by Microsoft. Can you submit a support request to them about it?
