Drag and Drop

Moving bookmarks and folders

To change a bookmark's position within the same folder by dragging it to your desired position.

To Move a folder to another position or location by dragging the folder to new location.

To move a single bookmark or a selection of bookmarks to another location hold down SHIFT while dragging it to the new location. If you drag a single bookmark, or a selection of bookmarks to a new location without holding down the Shift key, you will copy the bookmark(s). (see Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox)

Icons

You can bookmark the current page by dragging the icon from the location bar (or the tab) to your Bookmarks folder. You can also drag it to the desktop to make an icon for that page. Drag a text file, a link, a picture, etcetera... from your folders or your desktop to Firefox and it will open in Firefox!

Links

"Click-and-drag" a bookmark to the main content window (which is the biggest on the Firefox user interface),so you can open it in a new tab! Dragging a link onto a new tab will open the link in the new tab.

Downloading links

Drag any link to the Download Manager Window to add and download the link. You can also directly download anything from a page by drag and dropping it onto the "Downloads" icon in your toolbar (provided you put it there through Customize).
