Can you confirm if this is with all browsers? Or is is just when using IE?

The browser I’m using is iceweasel (doesn’t work)

The Windows browser is Firefox (works OK)

Iceweasel? Well that is a new one on me.

I would venture the  guess that whatever javascript engine comes with this browser is not processing correctly. Don’t forget all browsers come with their own engines. Is there any way you could ask the developers for their opinion?

But I will look it up and see if there is a Mac version I can  try with…

Is your version completely up to date? The bottom line is that if it works in other browsers it is still most likely to be because the JS engine is not up to scratch. And I would still suggest it would be a good question to ask them.

OK Tried the Linux version of Opera and drag and drop works fine so must be something odd in Iceweasel

OK Tried the Linux version of Opera and drag and drop works fine I also tried Google Chromium the both work OK so must be something odd in Iceweasel

They are both faster as well !!! ditching Iceweasel.

I suspect that as ‘Android’ is a version of Linux these two are kept up to date.

If you go into ‘Settings’ then ‘About Device’ you will find Kernal version. If you have a File Manager 

see if you can find Phone internal storage , every folder there is labelled the same as My operating system.

But think about this – how many things that we use require a computer chip to run them – hundreds ?

Now Microsoft don’t do it they are all based on Linux.

You will probably find that the server this website is hosted on is Linux – one of the reasons is they require far less security than Windows
