Overriding Disabled Right Click?

Hello daahlings.

Is there any way to do as it says on the title? It's getting frigging annoying on some sites which have a disabled right click, when I'm trying to download pictures.

Thanks in advance!

in firefox:

tools > options > content > Enable Java Script [Advanced Button] > Uncheck disable or replace context menus.

depending on how the script is implemented, you may still actually get a popup, in which case you may want to temporarily disable javascripting.

Internet Options > Security:

stick the site in the restricted sites in internet explorer and that will prevent javascript/activescript from running and disabling the menu.

What about holding down the right mouse button, hitting carriage return, then releasing the mouse button?

Does that still work? It used to on a lot of sites.

I seem to have two keys on the right, between Alt Gr and Ctrl, neither of which have ever been used, given the amount of dirt on them.

One looks like Mr Gates' little window symbol and the other a page of text with an arrow pointing at it.

Wow, I didn't even know there was an option to prevent webpages being resized until I looked at that options menu. Ta, that'll make navigating through porn a bit easier.

Does anyone here ever use the start menu button? It takes longer to mentally tell your finger which one to press then to point and click. Mind, it did come in useful a few weeks back when my mouse broke down and I couldn't figure out whether it was the mouse or the computer. It was the mouse

Another thing you can do in IE is drag the image into a folder and it will save it there!

Very usefull and works well.

Not sure if it works if FF or Opera.

For some reason I never, ever, ever, ever use the right-shift key. Always the left, whatever key I'm pressing.
