RESOLVED: Can't Move Tiles in Fast Dial 4.2.1 on Firefox 12

I am running Fast Dial 4.2.1 on Firefox 12 and cannot move any of the tiles, up/down or right/left.
Fast Dial is set to a configuration of 11 x 10.
In previous versions of Fast Dial and Firefox this function worked fine.
Any fix?

Have you tried with all other extensions disabled ?
Many thanks

thanks for the feedback
to understand it would be good to try and reproduce.
so we are talking about drag and drop of the fast dial cells, is that correct ?
if I was in your shoes I would try an earlier version of firefox to see if that resolves.
we have not had this problem reported elsewhere, but there must be a reason.
try for example going to bookmarks/organise bookmarks/ then to bookmarks menu and chose fast dial, right click and select fast dial make home.
that will make certain that we are in the right folder
right now I am not sure what is causing this at all...
here is a long thread on the question of drag and drop

Oh and maybe try fast dial in a completely new profile, to check that your present profile is not corrupted ?

Submitted by mr martin on Sun, 05/27/2012 - 21:41Through process of elimination I have been able to resolve the problem. I thought the problem was a Fast Dial issue, but it appears it was a screen size issue.
Problem: Moving tiles in Fast Dial using Firefox 12 at varying screen sizes, I could not move tiles up/down between rows or left/right within the same row.
Solution: Pressing CTL + Scroll Wheel on my mouse back/forth will change the browser screen size. After experimenting with varying screen sizes I was able to find a screen size that eliminates the problem of not being able to move tiles in Fast Dial.
Bizarre but my solution is working.
Thanks,
mr martin

Zoom in Firefox

CTRL + 0(zero) seems a useful reset control
or in Firefox
View/Zoom/reset works well too
