stuff is in Firefox. When a picture is a link to another page, and you want
to drag that to the tab area, the entire picture is dragged with the mouse.
Now, how the hell am I supposed to hit the small tab area when the large
picture covers half of my Firefox??
Sure it looks good, and the computer owner can brag to the guy in the next
cubicle, etc. But there should be some obvious or useful *purpose* for
dragging entire pictures where a mouse pointer would be clearer, cleaner,
easier for the user, and use less computer cycles.
I mean, who's such a nutcase that he forgets halfway in the dragging, what
it is he's dragging?
Middle-click.
Yeah.
But I still don't see the glamouros advantages in dragging whole pictures.
And I often drag stuff to existing tabs. A good example is when browsing
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090424.html where I usually end up with a
dozen tabs in no time.
