The new version of firefox (ff2) will resize images automatically. I don’t particularly like it, so here is how to revert to the old 1.5 style of image handling.


I want to see graphics actual size. Please don’t resize unless I ask you to. Here is how to disable ff2’s automatic resizing of images.

1. Open FF2
2. In the address bar enter: about:config
3. Copy and paste this into the filter line…

browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing

4. Double click the preference to change the value from true to false
