[Bug 241934] [NEW] When dragging text with line breaks to the favicon, open several tabs

[David Prieto]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Sometimes I try to download stuff from Rapidshare, but the links are not
active. Instead, there seem to be several lines of text like this:

http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxx.part1.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxx.part2.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxx.part3.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxx.part4.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxx.part5.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxx.part6.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/xxxxx.part7.rar

Since they can't be clicked, I select all the text in one line and drag
it to the favicon to the left of the URL bar. That brings the save
dialogue, and I proceed to do the same with the second line.

Once I tried to select all seven lines at the same time and drag them to
the favicon, hoping it would open all seven URLs in seven tabs, but it
didn't work. Since this is a case I encounter quite often, could this
behaviour be implemented?

Could dragging text with line breaks open several tabs?
