"Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If I drag a link from Firefox's address bar down to the gnome-panel to create a shortcut/link to the website, it will fail, it will only create a broken launcher without icon or content.

If clicked on, I only get this.
"Could not launch application"
"Not a launchable item"

In dapper it worked, In edgy it worked except that if you moved the launcher it would break become useless broken, In feisty it's totally broken.
