Drag and Drop Image to Open in Firefox

[Ardemus]

Steps to reproduce

• Open Firefox in a new profile
• Install Sidebery
• Open a new tab
• Drag and drop a local image (jpg, for example) onto a blank area of the new tab's content area

Actual behavior

(No observable change)

Expected behavior

1. Firefox opens the image
2. The address bar displays a file URL, like file:///home/nick/Downloads/Screenshot%202024-05-09%201950.jpg
3. The firefox tab title changes to the file name
4. The sidebery tab title changes to the file name

NOTE:

If you manually open a local image in Firefox (in my case right click on the file and choose Open With > Firefox Web Browser), it will open as expected.

If you then drag the same or a different image onto that tab's content area, a bright gradient moves left to right across the tab in the Sidebery tab list but the new file is not opened.

NOTE 2

I haven't tested it, but I suspect that this issue also affects other file types like json and html.

NOTE 3

Feature suggestion #1640 works around this issue. If I had to pick between the two solutions I'd pick #1640 because dropping images directly onto Sidebery is slightly easier than opening a new tab then dropping images there. However, if other file types are affected by this issue then my priority would be getting the largest number of file types working.
