[Clipart] downloading with firefox

I've found in FireFox, if you actually click on the SVG to open it as
it's own page, you can right click and select "Save Page As", and it
then is ready to save as "SVG".

Hope that helps.

Uh uh ... with Firefox, right click lets you "Save link as" and when you
go to do that, it is a htm page.  For example, Calendar Icon
(Large) by jiligan http://openclipart.org/media/files/jilagan/4491
saves as 5563.htm.  You can left click the png label till it displays on
a page, then right click lets you save the image as a png. Others, such
as my sandcastle 2 http://openclipart.org/media/files/addon/4303,
the png, only lets you save as an htm page.

This is all a bit confusing.  Everything works nicely with IE, but my
browser of choice is Firefox and I would prefer to use it, without
swapping around when I need to download from the OCAL.
