Some web sites attempt to automatically wrap long lines, which can occasionally cause an embedded URL to be wrapped incorrectly. If you select the URL (including the part that got wrapped around and is unlinked), and drag it, you can have two different behaviors depending on where you started your drag:
1. If you start the drag from the text, there will be no URL in the drag data. Safari and Chromium will still navigate to the proper URL (they strip out all whitespace from a URL-like string prior to navigating).
2. If you start the drag from the hyperlinked portion, then Safari and Chromium will only use the URL data in the drag. Since the hyperlinked URL was mistakenly truncated, Safari and Chromium will fail this navigation.

As far as I can tell, Firefox is able to handle this case correctly, so we should try too.
