URL Drag-and-Drop not working with Firefox but with Chrome

Hi,

I'm trying to write a small utility where I can drop links from Firefox for 
further processing. 

I found this example code 
<http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2012/06/20/wxpython-introduction-to-drag-and-drop/> 
(Custom DnD with PyDropTarget). When running the program it only displays a 
warning about the "Py"DropTarget but runs fine otherwise.

However, I can't drop any links from Firefox into the "drop URL here" 
frame, nor can I drag URLs from that demo app to Firefox.
Also the cursor icon doesn't change to indicate a compatible destination if 
I hover over that frame.
Only the text entry field is willing to accept the content.

Surprisingly it works as intended when I use Chrome.

Is this a bug, or is there a work-around?

Setup:

- Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS, 64 bit
- Python3
- Phoenix + wxWidget built from today’s GitHub source.


Thanks 

Mike
