You must have noticed that Orkut has disabled right click on images in orkut albums. This means you can’t save images from an orkut album. There are a couple of tricks throug which you can still save images. These tricks can be used to save images from many other sites with right click disabled.
The simplest way is to drag the image to the address bar. You can also drag it to a new tab or to the new tab area to open in a separate tab.
This is a GreaseMonkey application that adds a user menu to user profiles on orkut that provides one click access to their scarpbook,album,add as friend etc when you right click on user pictures. This is really cool feature and avoid wasting time by visiting the user profile each time.
There was some other userscripts for firefox similar to this that replaced user name with links to scrapbook, album etc, but this one is better and beautiful. See screenshot
This script works only with Mozilla Firefox free downloadable.
