Zimbra 6 Drag and Drop – Firefox 7 Compatible Fix

Date: Oct 25 2011

We have developed an in house fix for users running Zimbra 6 with Firefox 7 using the drag and drop extension. If you are uploading files and getting errors or undefended file name and “Critical – Error uploading file” messages then this will take care of your issues.

Resloves the following issues

“Critical – Error uploading file” dialog appears and the “Attaching files” line sort of sits there and spins
java.io.FileNotFoundException: zimlet description not found: com_zimbra_dnd.xml
undefined file description after upload

Tested and works under the following browsers versions: Firefox 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 6x, 7x
Works with Zimbra 6.0.14 and may work with other subsequent versions please report.
