Prevent Automatic Resizing of Images (Firefox)
(2007/10/23)

Firefox, by default, resizes large images to fit in the browser window.

This is usually a good thing but there are a few of use who want to see the image in the correct size the first time.

You can test automatic resizing in action by going over to a popular site for wallpapers like InterfaceLift.com and looking at some large sized wallpapers.

Entering the New Setting

Start Firefox. Click on the address bar or press Ctrl-l to place the cursor on the address bar.

Enter about:config and press enter. The configuration settings page displays.

Find the browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing parameter and double-click on it to set it to false.

browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing          default          boolean          true

Note that the status field changes from default to user set and the line becomes bolded.

browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing          user set          boolean          false

Finally

Now restart Firefox and see your images in the original sizes.
