thanks for sharing.
The adblock method is easy and quick. I already use adblock because of these nasty flash ads. I wouldn't be bothered by a few ads (still pictures) being there to LOOK at but I won't allow them to outrageously STEAL my CPU power that I paid for, and freeze my browser. It's the ad companies' fault if I exclude them. Most animations on the web are simply annoying, anyway. Even the animated icons on this forum do, in a way.

In reply to Message (39463) Saving Webshots images
By Malvineous - Sat 21/03/09 14:26:02 GMT Just found a really simple way to do it.
Install AdBlock Plus in Mozilla Firefox, and open each Webshots image's Full Size page. Then, open the AdBlock Plus: Blockable items window. There won't be a lot in there. Sort the items by type, there will be two of type object sub-request (in particular this refers to items fetched by Flash movies). One of these is the master image used by Webshots' irritating Flash image view. Middle-click (click the scroll wheel) over that entry in the list -- a new tab appears with that image in by itself. Now just save the image as normal.
Makes the process really easy. AdBlock is useful for all sorts besides blocking ads, although I still use it to block ads when they're so obnoxious that they interfere with the PC, e.g. Flash ads that hang Firefox (normally if you have the same ad open in a lot of tabs and the collective weight grinds the browser to a halt).
