Draggable button in Firefox

From others, I came to know that your issue is because of a bug exists in Firefox. I suggest you to implement custom listeners to imitate drag event. My solution is as follows:

var btn = document.getElementById('btn');

var btnPressed = false;

btn.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
  btnPressed = true;
  px = e.clientX;
  py = e.clientY;
});

btn.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
  btnPressed = false;
})

window.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
  btn.style.MozTransform = "";
  btn.style.WebkitTransform = "";
  btn.style.opacity = 1;
})

window.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
  if(btnPressed) {
    dx = e.clientX - px;
    dy = e.clientY - py;
    btn.style.opacity = 0.85;
    btn.style.MozTransform = "translate(" + dx + "px, " + dy + "px)";
    btn.style.WebkitTransform = "translate(" + dx + "px, " + dy + "px)";
  }
})
<button id="btn">Drag Me</button>

I know its not perfect. Hard-coding is the only way to resolve this issue until Firefox fix this bug.


There is already a bug on Firefox where you can't drag a button. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=568313

However you can drag your div containing button (which is not draggable right now) using 'after' pseudo class. Example:

document.getElementById("myDivWithButton").addEventListener(
  "dragstart",
  function (e) {
    e.dataTransfer.setData("Text", "myDivWithButton")
  }
);
.frontdrop {
   position: relative;
}

.frontdrop:after {
    content: '';
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    position: absolute;
}
<div id="myDivWithButton" class="frontdrop" draggable="true"><button>Div with Button</button></div>

I found a tricky solution:

<label draggable="true" ondragstart="event.dataTransfer.setData('text/plain', '')">
    <input type="button" value="Click me!" style="pointer-events: none" onclick="console.log(event)">
</label>

Wrap input with a draggable label and set pointer-events CSS property to none. Using this method, your button will be interactive and draggable.
