This is done on purpose, because using javascript code to prevent saving images
is not recommended. It isn't even a reliable way, as there are many different
ways that you can save the image, even without the context menu. If you're
images are not to be saved, don't post them on the Internet.

See bug 86193 about the original change, and bug 236666 about the UI.
