"right to click" Firefox add-on restores function

This is a good idea.

Especially on my netbook, with its minimal screen resolution, I frequently right-click on images to get image info or alternate text. More and more frequently, especially on artist sites, the right-click functionality has been disabled, and frequently replaced with either rude or fawning text about the hard work of the artist and how it's wrong to steal.

(If I want to steal the image, there are easy ways to do it that don't involve right-click; usually a simple page save will do it.)

Now there's a Firefox extension called RightToClick that will restore the right-click functionality. It's a good idea. Check it out.
