Can't do any drag and drop in Firefox 12 for Mac OS X 10.6.8

I am running Firefox 12 in Mac OS X 10.6.8, and have the following strange problem.

When I try to customise the toolbar, I am unable to drag and drop any buttons onto it! I am see the hand icon, but when I click and drag an item nothing happens.

Even stranger is the fact that I also can't drag and drop images from Firefox into Finder!

Are these two problems related somehow?

Hope someone can help with this.

this problem is caused by the torbutton extension you have installed. you'll have uninstall it in the addons-manager because it is no longer maintained by the developers - you'd have to switch to the tor browser bundle, see: https://www.torproject.org/torbutton

Drag and drop works now after I disabled torbutton! I've replaced it with FoxyProxy Basic which works fine. Thank you for your quick response!

I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).

The generic add-on troubleshooting page is at:
