Breaking frames

Specific problem: Some sites have a title section across the top and a
menu section down the left, leaving a section in the lower right for
viewing some variable content. That lower right section is often much
smaller than I like. (I have to, no options, use 800 by 600 in order to
make the text large enough to read. Changing screen resolution is NOT,
repeat NOT, an option.)

The usual method I use to get that section out of the frame so it is
big enough to read without zig zagging all over the place is to right
click on the menu and "open in new window", getting rid of the frame
instead of simply changing what's in the menu.

Some sites have right click disabled for one silly reason or another.
(As if anyone wanting to copy what they have cannot copy the file out
of the cache.)

I'm looking for something like "resize enable" (allows resizing when
"maximize" is disabled) to break the variable content out of the frame,
to recover the ability to right click on a menu item, or some way to
change the size of the frames, seeing as how too many web designers are
inconsiderate asses.

An immediate solution will be to use FireFox. This can be set (it may
be the default setting) to ignore any script that prevents or changes
the right click context menu. In other words, the no-right-click
script does not work in FireFox; I think IE7 (Beta 2 Preview) does the
same.
I do not know how this will react to those pages that have scripts
that reload the frames if viewed outside the frameset.
