        Re: Using Firefox (printing clickable images) —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Beats pasting URLs but still one click more than IE. Per image. :-) However, it doesn't work. The image is clickable. Therefore the choices I get are: Bookmark this link Copy this location ---...--- Properties So there is no view image to use. (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     (...) That's what I get too.... if the image ISN'T clickable. Go to MapBlast.com and enter your own house addy or whatever, then try a right click on the map image you get back. I think it's an image map actually, so it knows where to center when (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Using Firefox (printing clickable images) —Steve Bliss
   (...) I'd blame mapblast, rather than firefox. On mapquest, I get the normal context menu for images. On mapblast, I get the short menu you listed (above). :/ Steve (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Using Firefox (printing clickable images) —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) I don't want to blame anyone, my question was "how do I get FF to do X" rather than "FF won't do X, it's broken". I really want to switch but this feature requires me to use IE so I'm 98% FF using not 100%, if you see what I mean. (and I know, (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     (...) Heh. I always heard that as "DOS ain't done 'til Lotus don't run". Steve (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Using Firefox (printing clickable images) —Dan Boger
     (...) Right. But I agree with Steve - I was checking on mapquest, so I have to assume MB is doing something that breaks it specifically. It also breaks the form - hitting 'enter' doesn't submit it, I had to click on the 'submit' button. (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Using Firefox (printing clickable images) —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) You mean like on Peeron.com/inv in the search box before you changed it? I thought that was a feature, not a break... but ok, maybe there's no way around this. I'll post the harder one when I have some time. (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Using Firefox (printing clickable images) —Dan Boger
     (...) Did Peeron even have that problem? I thought we had it the other way around - you had to hit enter, because I didn't have a submit button there. Breaking 'enter' takes effort. Omitting the 'submit' button is just forgetful. (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Using Firefox (printing clickable images) —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) Na, it was the other way round. I used to always hit enter, go away and come back and wonder why there were still no results, then remember I needed to have pressed submit. Used to drive me CRAZY. No way would I forget that. I could swear that (...) (20 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
