When I'm on a web page, I'd like to be able to drag or copy the URL, with its associated name, from the address bar into Onenote. When I do that now I only get the URL in Onenote. I can get both the URL and name if first I drag the URL to the bookmark bar and then I drag the bookmark into Onenote.

Does anyone know a way to get it done in one step?

I found a work around.

When I'm going to be dragging URLs to Onenote, I open the sidebar and set it to History > View > By last visited.

Then I can just drag the bookmark from the history and drop it in Onenote.

Does it work if you drag the tab ?

Thanks but no.

When I try to drop the tab 'into' Onenote, instead it opens inside a new Firefox window.
