forgot the most important ;)

Use Opera and open the links panel. You then have on the sidebar on the left a list of all links leading away from the current website. Right click on the links leading to the image and save it. (You can mark more than one link at once and store them all together in your download folder). (this works with some of those Java crap sites)

Don't know a quicker way for browsing/downloading pix.

I'm a longtime Opera user and I have to use Firefox right now for an unrelated reason. The feature in Opera that I miss most is the way it used to be so easy to view a gallery. In Opera I would switch to full screen, bring up the gallery, click on 1st photo & there's my full screen picture. Now here's the good part--to view the second picture, I would just press PAGE FORWARD & there would be photo #2, & so on.

Here in Firefox, after I view photo #1, I have to go back up to the full gallery & click #2, and so forth, up & down. It's the same slow procedure in Safari (I've got Mac).

The older version of Opera from about a year ago had a terrific feature--in full screen (F11 on PC) any blank space around the photo, as for a portrait type, was automatically filled in with dark gray. So you would see your model's photo with nothing framing it, like in a movie theater. I wish Opera (and Firefox) would use that feature.

Say, did you recently download the addons named AdBlocker and NoScript into your Firefox?  I recently saw something similar (pages of script) after downloading them.

google Web Gallery Downloader (wgDownloader) 3.0.0.6 version, and download it. works on most galleries for me. and its free.

I am using google chrome, by right clicking on the picture you like and select "save image as.." I am able to save to my hard drive then transfer to removable media for future use. Firefox also has a similar option, as does internet explorer which I never use.

Just tried that "snipping tool" awesome is an understatement.
