I just tried disabling JavaScript in Mozilla (after displaying a Google Maps page). Sure enough, the context menu returns. Unfortunately, this does not solve the tiling issue and you'd have to perform 16 separate save actions then tile the images back together in an image editor!
Been there. The easy (or easier) way (in FF): Do "Tools > Page Info", select the images/tiles, and download from the right-click popup (IIRC). Putting them back together again in gimp is fairly simple if you do the math on the size and positions of the tiles and then use that geometry when setting the size of the New gimp image you'll be creating.
How on earth is that easier than taking a screen capture? For one thing, the "Save As..." button is unavailable when more than one item is selected in the "Media" tab of the "Page Info" dialog. Secondly, the ordering (X and Y tile numbers) are only present in URL query parameters, and files saved with those names are tedious to deal with. Unless someone is going to write a Mozilla / Firefox plug-in of some sort (or a custom client specifically designed for this kind of site) to stitch such tiled images back together and save them as a single whole, creating a screen snapshot will continue to be far easier.
