~ How to remove the flickr spaceball.
Flickr has a really annoying protection against downloading pictures from their site using the right click menu of your browser. They streched a 1×1 transparent gif image over the images, so if you right click on the picture and click save image, you’re actually saving that transparent overlay image: spaceball.gif
So, How to get rid of this silly protection method? If you’re using Firefox, just open your userContent.css file in your Mozilla chrome directory (windows: c:\Documents and Settings\$USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\$profile_name\chrome) and add this line (create the file if it doesn’t exist yet):
img[src*=”spaceball.gif”] {display: none !important;}
and the “protection” is gone :devil:
