I see that other threads talk about icons and drag and drop errors to the Desktop. For me, it is the Firefox browser
. I am not able to upload pictures to GitHub and a few other websites using Drag and Drop
to Firefox in my 20.04.
I would be delighted if there is a workaround that does not include replacing Nautilus. I use 20.04 default because certain apps like Blender
and Android Studio
behave neatly on Ubuntu default and show some errors when using options like Kubuntu.
Update:
Created using Peek. When I drag and drop to the Firefox icon
in the launcher, nothing happens, it comes back
Update 2:
Tried the DING solution from the suggested link
Added DING and disabled default desktop icons extension through both Tweaks
and extensions.gnome.org
. The result was duplicate icons on the desktop and the same no drag and drop
for Firefox.
Update 3: Tried this
sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
But the default extension stays. I do not know how to proceed further.

and was able to then drag and drop it into an answer dialogue box on your question (opened in FF). Is this about GitHub or Ubuntu? – graham Mar 06 '21 at 06:49drag and drop

is still not working. I removed DING and everything is back to normal now. – user227495 Mar 06 '21 at 13:46
