Why does Firefox allow images to be dragged but not dropped?

If you browse a web page through Firefox, any image on the page can be dragged anywhere on the screen—but you can't drop it. Other browsers such as IE or Chrome do not allow dragging images.

Is this a issue? Why does Firefox allow dragging?

It does allow you to drop. Drop to explorer/desktop and it pastes the picture, drop to a input field or the address bar and it drops the image URL.

You can drag the image (like your favorite unicorn picture, I assume) to an explorer window and it will be saved there.

html does not support dragging/dropping. RIA's and some AJAX/javascript pages may allow dragging of images ... e.g a shopping cart.
