In Facebook, while browsing shared photos of your friends, if you like some photos and want to save them to your computer you would normally e.g. in Firefox (FF), right click on the image and use Save As option. But this does not work as expected. You do not see an option to save the image only. This happens because the image is "hidden" behind script which loads it. To overcome this, do the following steps:
1) Right click on the image
2) Use inspect element(opens a little window area at the bottom with the html source)
3) Look for tag <img src="xxx"/> xxx is the url of the image.
4) Copy and paste xxx in the address bar of FF and load page.
5) Now right click and save image on your disk.
Note: this tip might work for other sites too which use similar gallery features to display images.

Just noticed- there is a "download" link at the bottom right of the picture. It reveals the direct URL of the image.
