Firefox: Downloading files with drag and drop

downloaddrag and dropfirefox

In Firefox, if you drag and drop a URL (pointing to MyDocument.PDF, for example) into Total Commander (or Windows Explorer), Firefox will create a link (MyDocument.URL pointing to MyDocument.PDF) instead of downloading the PDF file.

Is it possible to actually download the file instead of getting a .url file?

To be more clear: I want to get the actual file when I drag and drop it, instead of getting a URL.


Yes, I know, I could use 'Save target as…' in the contextual menu but this will open an additional 'where to save' dialog box.

Try DragIt. This extension allows you to drag and drop files to save on your disk.
