Comments on: Firefox: Prevent Automatic Image Resizing and View Actual Size

What about centering the image when it’s larger than the screen?

:( Any way to do this?

If I set browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing = false when I open a 2500px wide JPEG it shows up on screen from the top left corner.
I want it to sort of scroll to the center of its width by default!

Can anyone help?

This is hard if not impossible to do with Firefox’s userContent.css from %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\\chrome, which is what I have naively been trying for hours…. setting various propreties to the “html > body > img:only-child” selector.

At top on the menu, choose Tools, then click Options. Go to the Content tab, and to the right of Enable Javascript is the Advanced button. Click that and uncheck the selection “Move or resize existing windows”.

I’m looking for a way to prevent firefox from resizing the browser window when I click on a graphic within a website to enlarge the picture. It’s annoying to have to click the window and make it bigger everytime I view a magnified image. Anybody know what to do? The above fix didn’t affect this particular issue.

Still works in 3.6.10, you just have to find the row with “browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing” and double-click it.

Thanks!

Why that feature is not part of Advanced Options is beyond me. You can stop resizing on IE without having to jump through these hoops. Thanks for the tip! Worked like a charm.
