Can't click and drag a photo to save it as before recent update. How can I?
I use a Mac. A few days ago, before the update, I could click and drag a photo to save it from my favorite cite. Now I can't. How can I fix this?

From the clickbooq website: "Problem: Recent versions of Firefox appear to have some minor issues with the Flash 10 plugin involving mouse focus. This issue will affect the ability to click-and-drag Thumbnails, highlight text when editing a folder name, or reordering folder position. It may also affect dragging Button Areas within Content Pages. We have encountered this issue in Firefox v3.5.8 - 4.x.
Work-around: Until Firefox addresses the issue with an update, the easiest work-around is to simply click on any part of your computer desktop, outside of the browser window. Then, click back into the Toolbox area and you should regain mouse focus and dragging capability." .....................................
This summarizes EXACTLY the problems I am suddenly having after an OS wipe and a clean new installation of firefox in Vista:
(1) Click-dragging a file or thumbnail in firefox (moving bookmarks on a toolbar, or filenames in the bookmark window) is no longer possible.
(2) trying to edit typed text is very difficult; moving a cursor across a word or a string of words causes the selected area to spontaneously stop selecting, to select only a random portion of the desired target, or to entirely deselect.
