What's with photobucket?

[flyrod]

I can't help making this into a bit of a rant, but I'm having issues with photobucket. Does anyone know a good way to get around their shenanigans? If an image does show up in the browser, if I right click and 'view image' it somehow redirects to a web page with all sorts of other junk besides a simple picture. If I right click and save, it saves a load of javascript with a .jpg extension. Disabling javascript has no effect.

safari doesn't have this problem, so I'm hoping there is some TFF setting that can turn off this secret redirect BS. Thanks!

It seems they're using the referrer info to decide if their servers give you a picture or the run-around. If I make a file called photobucketSucks.htm and put the picture in with <img src="http://... then I think firefox sends a different referrer than if you right click? That usually shows a picture anyway, and worst case I can take a screen capture...
