Firefox drag and drop search feature

more options

Firefox has this feature where you can highlight text then drag and drop it from one firefox page to another. Doing this will open a new tab and perform a search of the dragged text by putting this text in the url field as a url. How can this feature be turned off?

I don't think that it is possible to disable this feature.

What do you want to happen if you drop selected text in a new tab?

You would normally use this feature to drop selected text in text area in another tab. If you drop the text elsewhere (not in a text area) then the outcome might be doing a search. You can press the ESC key to abort the drag.

I find it hard to believe that a feature available in a programmable piece of software would not have a way to turn it off.

The issue I am having, however, is that I do a lot of dragging and dropping of text into text fields (in an attempt to make my life easier). But, if I miss the text field on the other tab Firefox will open a NEW tab and perform a search as if the selected text was a URL.
