drag-and-drop link-to-open-new-tab

When will the drag-and-drop link-to-open-new-tab feature be restored? Previous versions had this feature, which was very convenient, especially when wanting to open multiple tabs at once. Now it can only be done through the right-click menu, which is very user-unfriendly. I raised this issue a long time ago and never received a response. I hope this feature can be restored as soon as possible; otherwise, I will switch to Chrome.

It still works for me. Can you go to about:profiles, create a new profile and test it there? Thanks.

Nop, I typed about:profiles in the address bar, created a new profile, clicked "Launch profile in new browser," and a fresh, unconfigured browser window popped up. The result is still the same: I can't open a new page by dragging with the mouse. My Firefox version is 152.0.1(32 bit). Wired, my system is in 64 bit, and have totally no idea what happened before.
