I subscribed to a website; the images are not directly downloadable and, right-click is disabled. I have figured out how to find the URL's of the images. So, I would like to be able to make a list of all the URL's and then have an application save all the images, unattended. Does such an application exist? Preferably free, and compatibility with Firefox would be good too. And/or, is there a workaround for the disabled right-click function? Thanks.

DownLoadThemAll Firefox plug-in does most of what you want. DLTA automatically lists all urls on the page then preselects what you want based on filter settings (ie only audio files, pictures, videos, programs, archives, etc.). Hit a button and it starts downloading. I am not sure if it works when right-click is disabled even though you can access the program from the tools menu. Normally thats done when they don't want you to download pics.

Thanks blowfish for the reply.
I have the Firefox add-on Downloadhelper which uses the same approach as downthemall and downloadthemall. But it doesn't work on that site.
It doesn't detect the presence of images on the page.
I did discover that using NoScript fixes the right-click problem.
I know they don't want folks to save the pics, but what's the point of subscribing if you can't get the pics? And I'm pissed there are only 29 photosets, with the largest one having fewer than 40pics. And the photography sucks. But I really like the girl and she is exclusive to that one site. Now I gotta save them one by one by one.

Clean out your browser cache...
Visit the site
view your cache folder and save the images you want...

You have to open and display each and every photo, in order for it to go to cache. If I'm doing all that, saving each one is minimal extra effort. I was looking for something more automated, bypassing the need to open every photo.

Dowwloadhelper and DownThemAll do not use the same way to find content. I use them both, Downloadhelper is great with videos, DTA is better for this purpose.

WooooHoooo!!! DownThemAll works!
Thanks blowfish for recommending it.
Thanks Jacco for making me take another look.
That's a great find; extremely useful.

I know you already got what you wanted but I still want to mention GetRight. It has an incredible number of features, including the ability to have username and password saved for sites (like the ones you subscribe to). It's also got a browser that displays the names of all images on a page and allows you to add them to the download queue. This browser also displays the names of *linked* images as well, which is what I think you want.
Another feature I've used a lot is "add numbered sequence of URLs to download". So if you know the beginning and ending numbers and you know where they are, you can do something like this:
http://cool.site.with.pics/subdir/judy%#%.jpg
Then tell it 5 through 230 and tell it to use 3 digit numbers (so 5 becomes 005) and it will download all of those pictures. The "%#%" is where the numbers go.
It's really the best download manager I've ever used. The free trail is almost 100% functional so you can check it out.

DownThemAll has exactly that feature, and it all works from within Firefox.
Regarding linked images, neither DownThemAll nor DownloadHelper detected them. I'm sure the webdesigners made a special effort to ensure that.
I'll keep GetRight in mind in case of some future need.
