SaveImages is a fine tool for sites that using tricks to avoid saving images. But I think the user interface is more horrible than DownThemAll.

Im running FF 7.0.1. Most of the add ons running fine. I'm not happy with the update strategy of Mozilla. My "work around" is.... waiting. I did not update to 7.0. I've waited 'til 7.0.1 were out. So I have the chance that all developers of add ons have the chance to update.

ImageHost Grabber is able to get the images from P&H directly. No need to wait and unzip ;-)

In my FF the connections are set:

network.http.max-connections;256
network.http.max-connections-per-server;15

FF (7.0.1) is working fine for me. Except the non-working add-ons

If you've ever been on a website/page etc and wanted to save something and got stopped by javascript being blocked

Typically right click disabled/copyright protected etc and dont know how to extract images from saving an entire page like me try this

Version 2.8.7
Released May 11, 2011 60.4 KB Works with Firefox 1.5 - 9.*

About this Add-on

Enables right-click, text selection, context-menu, drag&drop and much more where it is disabled by Javascript.

RightToClick protects from annoying alert pop-ups, can remove many timer actions and is able to suppress (unusual) click behavior. The highly sophisticated engine also offers options for fine tuning. Finally it's helpful with image downloads (also disabling CSS might be useful here).


IMPORTANT


Before using RightToClick you need to check the RightToClick options: Choose what specific page Javascript features should be disabled if RightToClick is started.
If you find that RightToClick removed some useful page functionality, un-tick more check-boxes in the options pane.

I found more and more sites using those dirty tricks and decided to code this small add-on. There are a lot of possible tricks

- if RightToClick fails, please help improving the add-on and visiting my support-forum to post the complete page URL Thank you !

buttsie is correct. I have used RightToClick for years on its default settings and it has worked almost perfectly.

Chances are you will not want or need to tinker with it, so even people with very little computer knowledge can use it easily.

you know, i prefer ff as browser, ok, to be honest, ff2/3 was better (in my opinion), but what i like so much 'bout ff is the possibility to personalise it. don t know, if it was shown here before (search didnt show any related post), so i'll show you one of my faved tools (i know, the idea isn t new):

FoxTab:



it s similiar to FastDial, but there are no bugs with newer ff versions (fastdial messed up for me since ff4)
what it does is simple, add your top sites on a start page, you have the possibility to scroll through or choose a thumbnail view.

I'm not sure if this is a firefox problem or not but i can no longer see the "new Post" button when viewing this forumwith firefox. I have tried it on 2 computers running firefox. 1 v8.0 the other with v3.6.24. The button still works on the Suze forum and it still works here on my IPad.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

because we don't have a "new post" button in our forum - do you mean "post reply" or "new thread" ?

if you speak about "new thread", this one is disabled for particular members in model id request sections.

He may be referring to this:

I'm talking about the "goto most recent post" button, you know the little blue button with the down arrow on it.

no idea where you've seen that. we have such buttons here:

1. go to last post made in a forum


2. go to last post made in a specific thread


3. go to last unread post of a thread (only availabe if thread contains new unreaded posts)



don't think over missing icons (trashbin) or different background colors, that's extra stuff for moderators.
