I have a really annoying problem. I've gone ahead and removed the plugins 'dragdrop,basket' to disable drag & drop support for image uploads, but it doesn't stop it in Firefox.
I have my own drag & drop handling on the page and users keep dragging it onto the CKEditor. I really need to disable it as it's confusing users.
EDIT: It appears to be Firefox that inserts inline base64 encoded data:/image/jpeg information as part of the message body, but CKEditor must certainly be handling it somehow. This doesn't work within a normal textarea, but you can see the behaviour in CKEditor. I'm still digging but can't find a way for CKEditor to ignore this action so far.
I've found this ticket on Mozilla, I'm not quite sure though if this is being entirely handled by Firefox - but if it is why doesn't the behavior work in a textarea?

Adding in some more information.... and a server side solution in C#.
A StackOverflow post also outlining the issue with no solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6708747/firefox-allows-desktop-image-files-to-be-dragged-in-to-ckeditor
Here's my C# sample code that uses the free HTML Agility Pack to parse through the data:

For me it's a very nice feature.
You just have to add the right code and you get automatic uploads as the user expects them to work. See this sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVInjn51VYw
