Here is a sample for Ruby/GTK2.

----------------
require 'gtk2'

Gtk.init

label = Gtk::Label.new("Drop Here")
Gtk::Drag.dest_set(label, Gtk::Drag::DEST_DEFAULT_ALL, 
		   [["text/plain", 0, 0]],
		   Gdk::DragContext::ACTION_COPY| Gdk::DragContext::ACTION_MOVE)

label.signal_connect("drag_data_received") do |w, context, x, y, data, info, time|
  p data.data  #You can get the URL from mozilla.
  Gtk::Drag.finish(context, true, false, 0)
end

Gtk::Window.new.add(label).set_default_size(100, 100).show_all

Gtk.main
----------------
