Dragging URLs in Firefox
June 16, 2009Have you ever dragged a URL onto a Firefox tab — the wrong tab? For instance, I’ve got two links from Free Software Daily through Google Reader. I want to read the full story, in the same tab. Instead of copy-paste, I prefer to drag the URL by clicking on it and dragging it to its own tab. Sometimes though my eyes deceive me, and I drag a URL to the next tab. Then I discovered that I could drag the URL to the location bar. No more dragging to the wrong tab for me.
As an aside, I was at first disappointed that IE 8 wouldn’t let me do the same thing. It turns out that I have to drag the URL to the menu bar.
