(Get the code!)
I voted for this bug. It seems to me that this is a basic feature, quite safe to implement and very useful.
If the developers still consider this feature to be dangerous, I'd suggest it could be disabled by default. In order to enable it the user would have to do something like:
Tools > Options > Advanced > "[_] Allow drag and drop files into file upload forms?" > Mark the checkbox.
Once the option is checked, a warning message could finally prompt the user:
"Allowing drag and drop files into file upload forms implies such and such security risks. Do you sill want to allow drag and drop files into file upload forms? Yes No Cancel Help"
