Bug description:

Dragging attachements to gmail compose window doesn't work anymore since I upgraded to 5.5.0. The only way I can add attachments now is by clicking the 'attach' icon and navigate to the file(s) I want to attach

Steps to reproduce:

Go to Gmail
Click on 'Compose'
Try to drag attachments inside the new message from your finder / desktop
Impossible to correctly drop the attachment

Expected behavior
In previous version, you could drag and drop attachments in mails from finder / desktop without using the 'attach' icon.

Environment:

Operating System: macOS Catalina
Ferdi Version: 5.5.0.2116
Server: Using without an account

I think this is caused by using the Firefox user agent as set here: https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/issues/264#issuecomment-567138371

I can get drag and drop to work when I remove the override in ~/Library/Application Support/FerdiDev/recipes/gmail/index.js:

var os = require('os')

module.exports = Franz =>
  class Gmail extends Franz {
  };

I can confirm that removing the override restores normal drag and drop behavior, it also prevents clicking on links in Gmail from trigering the 'Grrr, seems a pop-up blocker prevents...' message and allows clicking the links to open them instead of having to right-click (see #321)
