Details

Currently copying and pasting files from the file browser into firefox doesn't work correctly, only dragging and dropping will work properly. This should be fixed such that copy and paste also works correctly.
Are we going to block shipping the directory picker stuff on this?

Isn't this more about pasteEvent.clipboardData.files not being filled properly or something.
I think this should not block Directory picker. But definitely we should fix it.

Kinda? Specifically it's about the process of getting file data from the OS into a nsITransferable to be loaded into a DataTranfer in FillInExternalData. Basically, we use the same code for DnD as we use for clipboard events for loading data from the transferable, but with clipboard the transferable seems to have different stuff in it. I haven't looked much into how different those code paths are.
