Drag and drop creats a URL link and does not save the image

In 11.10 if you run firefox and drag an image from the browser to either the desktop or Nautilus instead of the image you get a link to the image. The arrow turns to a hand with a link across it and a file is created like Link to "http://www.anysite.net/images/087782_1.JPG".

Where is this behaviour set ? in 11.04 the default was to copy the image.

You can copy the image into oowriter and other programs, just not the desktop ot Link to Nautilus.

I would expect the image to be downloaded and saved in the location required, instead you get a link to the location.
