Is there a Firefox extension that adds "Save target as/Download linked file" to a right-click menu? I remember finding one once, but that I need it, I can't find it on the Extensions site.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anybody have any recs for cheap yet useful graphics programs or web authoring tools? I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver, but I've been asked to recommend something cheaper, for someone who is not a professional.

I was thinking Illustrator and MS FrontPage, as I hear those are commonly used. (Windows platform)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jasc PSP is pretty good.

Oh yeah, we had that on my last contract. I'd totally forgotten it. Thanks!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's also Photoshop Elements.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Front Page is horrible. (But that said, I don't have a lot of non-Dreamweaver experience in Windows, so I can't recommend anything else)

For graphics, Illustrator and Photoshop do completely different things. If what you need is a photoshop analogue, look at Photoshop Elements instead -- it's a simplified version that costs much less and does everything you'd commonly need to do for web work.

The Gimp is a very powerful and free (open source) graphics program, but it's difficult to learn to use (at least for me).

Also, I don't remember if you still need Xfree86 or somesuch to run it on a Mac.
