drag & drop media upload on firefox

Firefox, 1.7.7.3

My tweetdeck habits are dying hard and I keep dragging & dropping files onto the text field and losing my tweet, opening a new file upload dialogue every time I want to post an image is somewhat arduous. Possible/sensible feature to add?

I don't understand what do you mean, you already can drag'n'drop media to tweet

Ah, I see what you mean, drag & drop functions for grabbing URLs from web media both in and out of browser (tested with external Discord client), however drag & drop does not allow for uploading files from File Explorer.

(For the record, the thing about me losing my tweets is about instinctually trying to get the upload to 'catch' and then dropping the file slightly outside the textbox, which as opposed to not doing anything, navigates the browser to the file. This is not to be worried about.)

Works fine for me gif

Very strange, is it possible this is a Firefox-exclusive bug? Or has this been tested on Firefox and is this as such an idiosyncrasy particular to my system? 2zKMCN8qmi

Yeah seems like it only doesn't work on Firefox, idk why, I tried few possible fixes but none worked
