Drag and drop broken in Firefox and Thunderbird

Under Fedora Core 6 using Firefox 1.5.0.9 and Thunderbird
1.5.0.9, I can no longer drag and drop bookmarks. I browse
to a web site, then press Ctrl-B to display the bookmarks
on the left side of the screen. Then I click on the icon
in the URL bar on the left (Where you type URL's) and drag
it to the bookmarks. The mouse pointer turns into a hand,
then the little cross with a paper behind it, but when I hover
over the bookmarks, drag and drop mouse pointer disappears,
and the bookmark is not there. I'm using XFCE for a desktop,
but I get the same behavior under KDE. Anyone else seen this
behavior?

-Thanks
