Drag and drop to desktop no longer works after update

After updating to developer 69.0b2 (64-bit) from 59 (can't recall the exact version details, I think beta 3) a few days ago, I am unable to drag anything to the desktop anymore (no images, shortcuts, text, etc). I have tried running with addons disabled, no change. Tried with a clean profile, no change. Tried reinstalling firefox entirely, no change. I'm at a loss for where to look next.

Edit - Holding ctrl while dragging does nothing either.

Hi @turkeycarpet I've seen a few Firefox users report this issue after upgrading to Firefox 68. Hopefully this solution works for you: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/windows-administrator-launcher-process-error-fix
