Firefox html5 drag and drop not working - html

Question

I know there are a lot of similar questions on here, but, when putting them to action, I still resolve in the same problem.
I have 2 angular directives (drag and drop) and one angular factory (dndAPI). This is all based off of fisshy's Angular Drag and Drop on github.
I finally got firefox to accept and drag movement by adding data to the event, however I can't seem to keep it from doing it's default behavior (and loading that data as a url). I also apologize I couldn't get it to work at all on jsfiddle...at all. I'll try again if someone can't see if I'm doing something outrageously wrong.
angular.module('dragAndDrop', [])
.directive('drag',function (dndApi) {
var drags = [],
dragging = new RegExp('(\\s|^)dragging(\\s|$)');
return {
restrict: 'A',
scope: {
item: '=drag',
whenStart: '&',
whenEnd: '&',
dropzones: '='
},
link: function (scope, elem, attr, ctrl) {
elem.bind('dragstart', function (e) {
angular.element('query-tool-tip').removeClass('active');
//if ( drags.length === 0 ) {
drags = document.querySelectorAll('.drop');
//}
angular.forEach(drags, function (value, key) {
if (scope.dropzones.indexOf(value.getAttribute('drop')) >= 0) {
value.className = value.className + ' dragging';
}
});
elem.addClass('dragging');
dndApi.setData(scope.item, scope.dropzones);
e.originalEvent.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'move';
//KEEPS FIREFOX FROM CRAPPING OUT:
e.originalEvent.dataTransfer.setData( 'text/plain', 'stop' );
scope.$apply(function () {
scope.whenStart({ data: dndApi.getData() });
});
});
elem.bind('dragleave', function(e){});
elem.bind('dragend', function (e) {
elem.removeClass('dragging');
angular.forEach(drags, function (value, key) {
value.className = value.className.replace(dragging, '');
});
scope.$apply(function () {
scope.whenEnd({ data: dndApi.getData() });
});
dndApi.removeData();
e.preventDefault();
});
elem[0].draggable = true;
elem[0].className = elem[0].className + ' drag';
}
};
}).directive('drop',function (dndApi) {
var drags = [],
dragging = new RegExp('(\\s|^)dragging(\\s|$)');
return {
scope: {
drop: '=drop',
whenDrop: '&',
whenEnter: '&',
whenLeave: '&',
queryIndex: "=queryIndex",
hideElem: '='
},
link: function (scope, elem, attr, ctrl) {
var left = elem[0].offsetLeft,
right = left + elem[0].offsetWidth,
top = elem[0].offsetTop,
bottom = top + elem[0].offsetHeight;
elem.bind('drop', function (e) {
// e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
//if (e.stopPropagation()) {
// e.stopPropagation();
//e.originalEvent.stopPropagation();
//e.preventDefault();
//e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
//}
e.originalEvent.dataTransfer.clearData();
if (dndApi.getDropZones().indexOf(scope.drop) >= 0) {
scope.$apply(function () {
scope.whenDrop({ data: dndApi.getData(), queryI: scope.queryIndex });
});
}
if (drags.length === 0) {
drags = document.querySelectorAll('.drop');
}
angular.forEach(drags, function (value, key) {
value.className = value.className.replace(dragging, '');
});
dndApi.removeData();
e.stopPropagation();
e.originalEvent.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
});
elem.bind('dragenter', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
if (elem[0] == e.target) {
scope.$apply(function () {
scope.whenEnter({ data: dndApi.getData() });
});
}
return false;
});
elem.bind('dragleave', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
if ((e.x < left || e.x > right) ||
(e.y < top || e.y > bottom)) {
scope.$apply(function () {
scope.whenLeave({ data: dndApi.getData() });
});
}
return false;
});
elem.bind('dragover', function (e) {
//if (e.preventDefault) {
e.preventDefault();
e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
//}
return false;
});
elem[0].className = elem[0].className + ' drop';
scope.$watch('hideElem', function () {
if (scope.hideElem === true) {
elem.hide();
} else {
elem.show();
}
});
}
};
}).factory('dndApi', function () {
var dnd = {
dragObject: {},
dropzones: []
};
return {
setData: function (data, areas) {
dnd.dragObject = data;
dnd.dropzones = areas;
},
removeData: function () {
dnd.dragObject = null;
dnd.dropZones = [];
},
getData: function () {
return dnd.dragObject;
},
getDropZones: function () {
return dnd.dropzones;
}
};
});
I've done a lot of what's recommended on other questions. I've added event.preventDefault() to the dragenter and dragleave spots. And then when that didn't work I added them everywhere. I have a feeling it has to do with my drop method. If i put event.prevendDefault() at the beginning of the binding, the rest of my code isn't executed.
Any advice, even if it's something small that I might've overlooked, will be helpful.
Thanks!

You are calling e.originalEvent.dataTransfer.clearData(); in the drop event handler which will cause an exception to be thrown (you won't have permission to alter the original dataTransfer object). This is preventing e.originalEvent.preventDefault(); from being called.
