In your example program that you sent, you're only accepting drops for 
the FXWindow.urilistType:

	if offeredDNDType?(FROM_DRAGNDROP, FXWindow.urilistType)
		acceptDrop
	end

and the MIME type for that drag type is:

	$ ruby -e "require 'fox'; puts Fox::FXWindow.urilistTypeName"
	text/uri-list

You listed a number of drag types that Mozilla is apparently offering 
(e.g. "text/x-moz-url", "_NETSCAPE_URL", etc.) but this is not one of 
the formats you listed. So in other words, you haven't accepted drops 
for any of the flavors of data that Mozilla's prepared to offer. See 
what happens if you also accept drops for, say, "text/plain" -- which 
FOX assigns to FXWindow.textType (and FXWindow.textTypeName).

Sure, I understand. For what it's worth, I have the feeling you can get 
this working with Mozilla on Linux just fine.
