Functional "fall-out" in Firefox on 8.04

[Alfred]

Hi:

I don't make Web Pages that use these Gimmicks. However I've run into
them many times.  Yes all the content can be stolen at the moment,
because there are many Programmers out there, that know all the tricks,
of doing this. However you might be surprised just how many people there
are out there, that don't know Programming at all. People that paid
Thousands of Bucks for Web Sites that don't work at all, have lots of
broken links in them, and "THEY" don't even know that anything is wrong,
or what to do to fix it!

So I just gave this as a Example of why right click might not be
working, or that it seemed to be intermittent. 
Alfred!

Also, once you've got right-clicking working again you can "View Page Info".  The dialogue 
has a tab for Media, on which all the images can be seen, saved, &c.  (Why is "View Page 
Info" not in the "View" menu?  Feature Request!)

Also, there's "View, Page Style, None" which will eliminate CSS and other layout tricks to 
layer images, again allowing you to see all content (really good for miserably designed 
pages).
