Can't drag images from Firefox 10 to a Finder window in Mac OS X 10.6.8

I really like being able to drag and drop images on a webpage in Firefox into an open Finder window in Mac OS X.

However, this stopped working after I updated to Firefox 10!!

Now when I drag and drop an image from Firefox into a Finder window, nothing gets there, and I have to right click on the image and save it as a file on my computer. This is pretty frustrating.

Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Found the answer here! Apparently it is the torbutton addon that is causing this problem.
