Thanks. You have only implemented handlers for one of the two protocols employed by X programs to perform drag-and-drop. Lisp code receiving dropped files must also implement an XDS handler, absent which files dropped from web browsers such as Firefox will merely be saved into the default-directory. XDS is distinct from the regular drag-and-drop system in that Emacs is enjoined by the drag source to provide a file name under which the file should be saved, whereas regular drag-and-drop transpires once it has already been saved by the drag source. Refer to (elisp)Drag and Drop.
