Drag and drop from firefox to Windows desktop stopped working after updating to Firefox Quantum 68.0 (64-bit)
After updating to v68 (x64) earlier today, drag and drop of pictures from Firefox to Windows desktop, stopped working
What I tried so far
Tried turning it off and on again didn't work
Started firefox in safemode with no add-ons didn't work
Started windows in safe mode and then started firefox in safemode with no add-ons didn't work
Drag n Drop + holding Ctrl key didn't work Drag n Drop + holding Alt key didn't work
Created a new profile didn't work
Re-installed v68 didn't work
uninstalled and erased ALL firefox files, then installed v68 didn't work
Installed v68 on a fresh install of Windows didn't work
Installed a fresh copy of Windows on a freshly assembled computer and made a fresh installation of v68 Firefox didn't work
Is there something else I can do, in order to fix this problem, besides using Google Chrome

I'm not sure how to react right now.... Earlier today, dragging and dropping to desktop didn't work, I tried to drag and drop a url on desktop, in order to check if creating a shortcut on desktop would work. It worked So, naturally, I tried to drag a picture and it worked....
I just called a priest, I think my PC is in need of an exorcism
