At 23 we’re always excited to see new features being made available to web users, and luckily the developers of Firefox, Safari and Chrome all seem to be pulling in the same direction. The most recent beta version of Firefox includes support for file drag-and-drop, and we thought we’d give you a preview of how this would work for uploading photos to 23.

So, if you’re using Firefox 3.6 beta 4 (or higher…) try dropping some photos onto the 23 site in your browser. In the upper right-hand corner you’ll see that you’re photos are being uploaded to your photo sharing account — and a simple progress indicator is showing you how far along the upload is.

If you drop files into the browser while you’re browsing an album, a tag or a photogroups, the uploaded photos will be automatically added to that album/tag/group.

Obviously this feature is experimental at the moment, but hopefully we’ll be able to expand support as Safari and Chrome add support for this standard in their browsers.

Excellent feature! Especially as I’ve been struggling with the ordinary flash upload form. :)
