Saving pictures from Flickr w/o getting the spaceball gif in Firefox

If you have browsed http://www.flickr.com and ever tried to save a picture that doesn't allow you to choose All Sizes, you've probably found that you're not saving the image but a small gif file called "spaceball." The instructable shows you how to save the image you want using the Firefox browser.

Step 1 Step one - Determine if all image sizes can be viewed

Determine if you can view All Sizes by looking for an icon and the words "All Sizes" where the blue circle is in this picture. If you can see & click on the "All Sizes" icon, click on it, and you'll be able to copy the image from the page that comes up. If not, follow these instructions.
