I have two principal address books, collected and personal. I can add new contacts to these address books. Under collected, I have three lists of group contacts. I want to add a contact to a list in the personal address book. Searched under Firefox and lots of suggestions to drag n drop. Ha ha, highlighting the contact, the moment I drag it across the box towards the list of address books, I get the no-entry symbol, circle with a bar through it. Why is this happening please? How can I copy across the address books or lists? Why is drag n drop suggested when it doesn't work? I'm using Win 10 Pro vers 22H2 64 bit on a Dell PC. Firefox 118.0.2 64 bit. Your aid will save my mind !

You cannot drag and drop a contact from one address book eg: Collected Addresses into a 'Mailing List' in another address book eg: Personal Addresses. But you should be able to drag and drop a contact from one address book eg: Collected Addresses into another address book eg@ Personal Addresses and then drag and drop from 'Personal Address Book' into one of Personal Addresses' Mailing Lists.

This is because a contact has to be in the Address book eg: Personal Addresses before it can get a tag to also appear in one it's Mailing Lists. A 'Mailing List' is like a virtual list, it does not actually exist. It's like a display of a contact in the address book which has had a type of 'tag' applied so you can also see it in a mailing list.
