It's more interesting to allow right click at any site altering fire fox config.

about:config
find: contextmenu

double click on it, it's done.

If you find that nothing happens when you right-clickhold down the Ctrl key while you click on a webpage, it is a known issue caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar for Firefox.

Yahoo!® has been contacted about this issue.

For now, disabling the Yahoo Toolbar add-on will prevent this issue.

1. At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Tools menu then select Add-ons, to open the Add-ons window.
2. Select the Extensions panel.
3. In the list of extensions, select the Yahoo! Toolbar, and click Disable.

What is YOUR suggestion concerning the protection of a web author's intellectual property if disabling right click “isn't cool”?

There is an easy to use java script you can save to your 'favorites' folder.
Any time you run across a web page that has right click disabled, simply
click on the script you saved to your favorites folder and ... there you go.

Right Click Is Enabled for as long as you stay on that page!

NOTE: This is not my script. I simply found it using google and it works
great for me. Thought I'd share it with others. Hope it works for you too.

As the developer of multiple Social Networking Websites, I utilize a right click disable for 2 reasons, 1 is as you stated, to keep people from stealing work. But that is really become a useless means as more and more hackers find ways around it. The 2nd reason was to protect the media of my members that others choose to steal and create fake profiles with it.

With the development of browsers such as Firefox and their add on tools, the issue has less to do with people stealing code now as it does to detering the average person from stealing the photos/video/audio files that belong to the members and sites.

As far as claiming that locking down a site is not cool, it's also not cool to spend months developing a site option to have someone else come in and take it without paying for it. Would you go into a store and just take a watch without paying? I think not but that is all to often what people seem to think they can do on the internet.

Thanks for the tips you guys are using though to bypass the right click disable and help us circumvent it. Now, where did I put that little .htaccess file?

Fact is, of course, the content is usually automatically copied. All you have to do is rummage through the cache.
