Hi there! I have faced a drag and drop problem in Firefox. If you drag and drop multiple files at once to somewhere (e.g., google drive, mega, etc.) firefox won't work, and closing firefox won't really close firefox-bin.

Download Details: I have downloaded Firefox from mozilla.org. System: Arch Linux x86_64

A sample Video (showing crashes when uploading files to mega, and a comparison with chromium): https://mega.nz/#!8fYByKaR!P_bhsgHODix8CdlZWS55meMcBzAUOm4mvksVngMLaqc

Well, the directory in which the Firefox I am running resides, has recursively sourav:sourav as owner, which is myself. No admin stuff ever used except moving the firefox directory to /opt/ directory. I know that's not a good idea not to use root account there, but that shouldn't trigger the bug.

And this also happens with all the Firefox versions I have ever tried in my life... Happens after extracting the bz file and running ./firefox as well.

This even happens with the Firefox from the Archlinux repository. I have even tried no lesser than 50 GNU/Linux distributions and as a favourite browser I used Firefox, and this problem is never fixed.

I have to switch to chromium every time I want to upload a file to somewhere or in Firefox, I have to just click the "Upload" or "Browse Files" or whatever button to upload files, the drag and drop is very buggy.

I am facing this problem since may be Firefox 54 or something like that...
