Can't drag images from Firefox 10 to a Finder window in Mac OS X 10.6.8

I really like being able to drag and drop images on a webpage in Firefox into an open Finder window in Mac OS X.

However, this stopped working after I updated to Firefox 10!!

Now when I drag and drop an image from Firefox into a Finder window, nothing gets there, and I have to right click on the image and save it as a file on my computer. This is pretty frustrating.

Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Found the answer here! Apparently it is the torbutton addon that is causing this problem.

Thanks! Removing Torbutton fixed it for me.
