I wasted the last two hours pinpointing what was causing my firefox instance to be stuck with the mouse cursor hand icon. Turns out drag and dropping url shortcut to a nautilus window freezes ff (well, it freezes the mouse cursor. edit: so firefox has to be killed because it doesn't respond to click or keyboard inputs anymore).

That's not a broken mess being someone's great feature.

It is (should be) a showstopper; in 2017, in Ubuntu. I found mention of the bug as early as march 2017 in fedora 2x (I think). I believe it's now lost in triage after not being taken care of then closed because that version of the distro is eol (until someone resubmit). How such a bug is shipped is beyond me. But hey, I could hack a patch.
