Improving Drag-and-Drop Navigation in Firefox

Daniel Buchmann June 2, 2025

Hi Trello Community,

I'm writing to request an improvement in how drag-and-drop functionality works in Firefox - Ubuntu 25.04 latest version when moving cards between lists.

Currently, when I drag a card in Firefox, the card doesn't visually follow my mouse cursor as it does in Chrome-based browsers. This makes it a bit more challenging to accurately place cards, as I'm essentially dragging a "ghost" of the card.

In Chrome-based browsers, the card sticks to the cursor, providing a much clearer visual cue for placement. This difference in behavior significantly impacts the smoothness and intuitiveness of the drag-and-drop experience in Firefox.

I believe enhancing this visual feedback in Firefox would greatly improve the overall user experience for many Trello users who prefer or are required to use Firefox.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a known workaround I might be missing?

Thanks for considering this improvement!

Hi @Daniel Buchmann 
Have you tried using a different mouse?
I use Firefox and I don't have this problem.

Greetings

Have you recently installed or do you have any Firefox extensions that could be causing this?

You could also try deleting your cookies...

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. Even with all extensions disabled and cookies cleared, the problem still persists.
