I have Firefox 41.0.2 on Ubuntu. The computer is a laptop with a very sensitive touchpad. When browsing images, the drag function kicks in frequently when just moving the cursor to another picture. It is desirable to disable this feature. There are numerous code snippets referenced on line for doing this, but no information on where to put them. Also, future updates would require coding to be reentered. Is there a means of disabling image drag with the about:config utility? Is there an add on that would accomplish it?

It turns out this is a Google search engine problem. I was searching with Google Images. A query to Google indicates this is a Google default action that is not user modifiable.
